HARVARD '96 VS. M. I. T. '96.The freshmen could not get through a season, without showing the same tendency to lose their heads, that seems to accompany every freshman nine. They were beaten yesterday by the M. I. T. '96, without any excuse for the defeat. The score was eight to four and in every case, the Tech. scores were made by men who had reached first either on errors or on bases on balls. Ninety-six also batted poorly, getting only four hits off Dakin, though one of these was a home run by Winslow, Nearly all the work...
...toward the Mott Haven team. This is every now and then cropping out and it is not in accord with the spirit of the University. The time may come, when through a false and unlogical way of looking at things a few men may prove the indirect cause of defeat. This is not a mere possibility, but a decided probability. Should a misfortune of this kind come to us, we cannot but think those who were so largely responsible for it would feel sincere regret. Yet even if in spite of such setbacks, as the refusal of winning...
...enjoyment of each individual player. Freshman nines are notoriously slack in their work at the beginning of the season.

They then rally, settle down to serious work and close the season, showing the college what might have been done if they had more prudence and foresight. Such a method of training is unscientific as it is discreditable to each individual member of the nine. Those who have...
...measure its strength with some of the ablest southern college teams. The University will watch the progress from day to day with true interest and although no delegation accompanies the men, there will be many loyal hearts to rejoice in the victories won or to sympathize in case of defeat. The game yesterday was so satisfactory that we feel that in the coming contests Harvard will do herself proud. In the season which will open at the beginning of the new term the value of this trip will be very apparent, even if only a portion of victories fall...
...them do so. We shall not refuse to play colleges because they differ with us in our views of the proper restrictions which should be placed upon athletes. We have taken our stand, and, following it, are willing to meet any team and run our chances for victory or defeat. We do not mean to imply that we shall refuse obstinately all compromise. If Yale can point out clearly serious faults in our plan, and if a reasonable concession will promote the interests of athletics, it is safe to say that Harvard will show a fair spirit...
