While we are of the opinion that it is somewhat early to get discouraged about the season's baseball prospects, we still believe that Harvard has a right to expect a better exhibition at any time than that of the nine on Saturday.

The general wishes to have them executed as filibusterers, but by the ingenious devices of a Yankee reporter they manage to defeat him and leave in safety on their yacht...
