...defeat of Harvard by Yale in the track games ought to drive home a lesson which Harvard must learn before an equal share in athletic victories will ever come to her. It is that if Harvard is to win, the whole of Harvard must unite in the attempt to win. Part of Harvard may do its best, but, if part of Harvard is to be pitted against the whole of Yale, how more than occasional victories can result...
...number of men here who if they had trained persistently could have done something for the University in these events, but they did not take the trouble. Part of the men in Harvard are just as spirited, just as plucky, have just as much "sand" as any equal number of Yale men, and no one who closely scrutinizes athletic records can doubt this; but they are pressed down by the inertness of other men who will make no attempt unless it is quite to their taste and unless success seems practically certain.

Bradley has been playing well in the field, but has not pitched any owing to a lame arm. The showing made by the others has been about equal. Otto, the first baseman, has shown great improvement in batting, while his fielding is very sure. King at second is strong on thrown balls and covers a large amount of ground. Brooks and P. Ward are making a good fight for short-stop. Gunster at third is playing much the same...
