...however, had to cope with a remarkably strong Nine, flushed with their victory of 10 to 9 over Yale, and anxious to hang the Harvard scalp in the New Jersey wigwam. Our Nine, owing in part to their crippled condition, but principally to their traditional weak batting, was hardly equal to the occasion. The game was an exciting one, and the score, 3 to 1, was, we believe, the smallest ever made in an amateur match.

Another who would enforce his opinions, on consulting his friend, finds that his essay has been unread.
