...Harvard and Yale freshmen played the first game of the series on Holmes field Saturday afternoon, and the result was an overwhelming defeat for the Harvard men. Yale thoroughly outplayed them in batting, fielding and base running, but the score of 13 to 2 was needlessly large, and had the freshmen put up even their average game they could have made the contest much closer. In the second inning for example, after two men had struck out, Whittemore made a bad throw of an easy grounder and allowed the batter to reach first base. Then McAdams aided Yale...

The presidency needs...

It is necessary that all who intend to try for the nine be known and that they begin some sort of training at once which will prepare them for the work of the spring. The freshmen should remember that the defeat of their class eleven last fall still lingers in the memory of the college. The class has yet to win its victories in athletics, and this thought should be an ever present incentive to the men who will work for the class nine and crew...
