...paper was not sent to us for some reason, although it is on our regular exchange list, and so we have not had an opportunity to remark upon certain statements which it contains. It is difficult to reply to conceited schoolboys smarting under the sting of a seyere defeat, and we should never think of noticing them at all, did not such an attack as has been made call for the severest censure. The Andover base-ball nine is famous for never being suited with any umpire except their own, nor ever being able to yield like gentlemen to defeat...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.-The sort of inteference and espionage to which the undergraduates have been subjected during their recent celebrations is just the course to defeat the ends which the faculty have in view. On Saturday night the proctors determined that there should be no bonfire. It was however, but a short time before one was built, and then followed a scene which is not a pleasant subject of contemplation. An officer of the college took upon himself a police duty, which not only derogated from his dignity, but placed him for over an hour in a very awkward position...
...first championship game with Yale, which takes place this afternoon at New Haven, our nine carries with it the best wishes of the college for success. Although the last game with Yale was certainly a bad defeat, many causes contributed to this end which have since then been happily overcome.

It seems that much despondency was felt in New Haven when the college heard that their freshmen had been defeated by Williston Academy for the first time in ten years. But this only served to wake up the Yale freshmen. They saw that, unless they worked hard, there would be no chance for them to beat our '87 nine. The thought of losing the coveted seats on the "fence" spurred them...
Although the recent defeat of the freshman nine was, perhaps, a surprise to the college, the lesson to be deducted from it is obvious, -'87 must work to win the games with Yale. Yet the nine need not feel disheartened by this game. Many things were against them ; the pitching of Andover was probably more effective than any they will have to face in the subsequent games, and the condition of the ball was such as to render good fielding almost impossible. But to win with Yale, the nine must play with more snap and life, it must be able...
