...CRIMSON takes the same view of the subject. It is hard to realize how two publications like the CRIMSON and the Yale News, voicing as they to the sentiments of their respective undergraduate bodies, have forgotten to make any mention of the fact that cheering is not so much due to an effort on the part of the spectators alone to "rattle" the opposing side, as it is to the effort of a few men who hold temporary positions as cheer leaders. Anyone who has witnessed the important intercollegiate games of the past few years will realize this fact. Organized...
...loss of the game by the Seniors was due partly to the weak pitching of Alexander in the fourth inning, and partly to the consistently good playing of the Freshmen throughout the game. Their hits were opportune and well-placed, their fielding was fast and accurate, and they showed good judgment in running bases.

The team also defeated Syracuse by the score of 6 to 5 in an exciting though poorly played game won in the ninth inning...

...benents of cheering to an athletic team, no matter in what branch or sport it may be. There always come times in college competition of all sorts when a team or an individual does more than it was believed possible; and, although this may be said to have been due to any number of causes, the real one was that the individual or the members of the team had, for perhaps but an instant, had one ear open to the grandstand and had received the outside encouragement...
