...race of last Saturday has shown the freshmen that they still have hard work before them to put themselves in a condition to defeat their Columbia opponents on the Harlem. There is good material in the boat, but it seemed to a spectator that their stroke was too jerky to enable them to preserve their form. But they have still some time before them, which, if utilized to the utmost, will go far toward enabling them to win the approaching race. They probably receive their defeat of last Saturday in the proper spirit, and so far from being discouraged, will...
...forfeiture of the Brown game, Amherst has lost her membership in the college league. This changes the championship question considerably. Two of Harvard's victories are taken away from her, and one victory from Dartmouth, Brown, Princeton and Yale; Brown, Dartmouth and Princeton are each relieved of a defeat. To win the championship now, Harvard must win every game. A tie between Harvard, Yale and Princeton is not at all improbable...
...ease, and competent judges announce a steady improvement in form and strength, such as would have given them a better position in the class races. The whole college is interested in the coming race, as well as their own class more particularly, and we anxiously hope that if defeat must come, it shall not be due to any diminished exertion in the future on the part of the crew. We know how hard it is to resist the charms of the season, but the honor of victory will prove no small reward for such praiseworthy labor. With the success...
...college championship seems to be the plaything of chance, and all prophecies futile. We were disposed to consider Princeton out of the race, but Saturday's defeat is an emphatic denial of such a fact. Our nine was outplayed in every point and has lost the series with the Princetons. In number of defeats Harvard, Princeton and Brown stand equal, while Yale is in the front rank. It becomes more and more of a puzzle to us why Princeton so easily walks away with our nine, who have proved themselves capable of beating Yale at home and defeating Brown...
...Yale News says that before the Harvard-Yale game "every man in the nine was perfection; now he is damnation." It is too often the custom after a defeat to shower abuse on every individual member of the defeated nine, instead of regarding the affair in a philosophical manner, well knowing that in base-ball an almost perfect nine is bound to have its "off-days." After a defeat, a nine should be encouraged to do better in the future. It is bad enough for a nine to be beaten, without receiving the abuse of the whole college, after months...
