Truly, this is a disastrous record, and one for which we have just cause to be ashamed. It is behooves us to ask what it may be. So far as we know there are two reasons why we continually meet with defeat: first, that our teams are not so carefully managed or disciplined as they ought to be; secondly, that the miserable, half-hearted support the college gives the teams is so weak that it is really as much of a discouragement as an aid. In this great university of ours there is certainly as good or better material...
...better and more intelligent work in practice, and strictly and honorably obey the training laws in both letter and spirit. If this be done and the college shows its appreciation-as it will-of the faithful work done, we shall have no more cause to complain of any disgraceful defeat falling on the college...
Yesterday the nine made their second trip to Providence, and the score shows that our former defeat was due to hard luck rather than to the inefficiency of our representatives. Our batter played remarkably well, and the change of pitchers in the ninth inning was made to save Nichols' hand. Baker and Smith also deserve mention for their work.

We do not know exactly what definition the word "egotistical" may have at Dartmouth, but it is certainly different from the ordinary one, and we may add the one in vogue here.

We certainly thought that we could defeat Dartmouth and events proved the correctness of our views. Dartmouth certainly had hard luck...
...Pope. Both sides are out for a holiday, and fun is likely to ensue. Although the "Doctor" has said that he expects today will be the event of his life, and it is rumored that his delivery will be marvelously puzzling, we do not look forward to a defeat for our nine. Instead, if their streak of batting has lasted over from Saturday, we shall expect to see them derive much benefit from practice in base running. With this warning before them, we cannot expect otherwise than to see a large audience assembled to witness the game...
