Again Yale has defeated Harvard, and this time it is in track athletics, the branch of sports in which Harvard has always been the strongest. Little can be said to excuse the defeat. It was generally conceded that Yale had the best chance to win, but no one expected that it would be by so wide a margin, and that, too, on our own grounds. The Yale team proved beyond any question that they were stronger than Harvard's and besides winning about all the doubtful events, also took several in which it seemed reasonably sure that Harvard would...
Harvard suffered another crushing defeat yesterday afternoon at the hands of the Holy Cross nine, the score being even to one in favor of the latter. The fielding of Harvard was slovenly and poor and the batting weak; in fact the playing, as a whole, was poorer than one would expect to see in a class game.

The former played a good all-round game, while the latter, although making...

Saturday was a day of victories for Harvard, a day full of promise for the rest of the season. Even the defeat of the lacrosse team was far from discouraging (it is no sign of weakness to fall but a single point behind the intercollegiate champion of last year); and in lacrosse alone was Harvard beaten. The University, junior and freshman nines, and the University cricket, fencing, and whist teams were all successful. So too, though not in competition with another college, was the track athletic team. We congratulate them all on their excellent work, and are confident that...
Yale has met another defeat in joint debating - this time from Princeton. The contest Wednesday evening was extremely close and the decision of the judges was not unanimous. The Yale Union in not discouraged but believes that with the rapid improvement in debating here the long line of defeats will be broken before very long...
