...University nine received its first defeat of the season yesterday afternoon, on Holmes Field, administered by the same nine which gave Harvard its only defeat last season, the Cochituate team.

To be sure the fielding of the other side was not of the best, but Harvard's errors were more costly.

...interesting information about themselves which the News here gives, but we trust they will not put too much confidence in it. The experience of former freshman nines offers a dismal warning to '89, and we feel sure that nothing but the hardest work will enable the freshmen to defeat Yale...
