...will not forgive. The more uphill the game the greater must be the determination to win in the end. If this is the spirit that is shown by the base ball men today we have every reason to hope for victory. But if we are beaten the disgrace of defeat falls upon all the students alike. If on the contrary we lose the game by poor playing and needless errors, the disgrace falls chiefly upon the men who are most directly to blame, although the sting of the defeat will be shared by the students in general. We wish Captain...

...victory for Princeton was a great one since she had to play an uphill game for eight innings, and because for twelve successive innings she kept Harvard from scoring. The defeat for Harvard was a disappointment, not only because the recent playing of the nine made victory possible and probable, but more because the nine let the game slip away on account of their inability to hit the ball at critical moments.
