...Cricket Club has started in this year with commendable enthusiasm. Preparatory to the match with Yale it has arranged a large number of practice games, a much larger number than in any year previous.

...leading country colleges, such as Amherst, Cornell, Dartmouth and Williams are decidedly inferior in athletics to Yale and Harvard; and Princeton, the most important country college is certainly not the superior of these two, both of which are near cities. It seems that location has less influence than enthusiasm and college spirit in keeping these three universities in the lead in athletics.
