HARVARD NINETY-EIGHT...
...Junior Nine deserves the warmest congratulations of the class for the good showing made against Yale yesterday afternoon, for by their victory the members of the team have made Ninety-eight's record in intercollegiate athletics the best of any Harvard class for several years. It was the kind of a game which gives real satisfaction in the winning; both teams played a quick, sharp game, taking advantage of each other's weak points, and both showed plenty of pluck and steadiness at critical times, especially the Harvard team in the last three innings.

The Yale Junior team, according to reports, is unusually strong for a class team, so that the game will probably be a close one and well worth going to see. The spectators...
