...progressed steadily and satisfactorily. At present it is in its highest state of development, and although the Holy Cross game on Saturday resulted in a defeat, the work of the nine as a whole was excellent. Judging by the recent work of both teams, the chances are very even, although perhaps slightly in favor of Harvard...
...self-supporting, it appears superfluous to have the undergraduates subscribe to them, as was formerly necessary, but both the crew and track team have to raise the money for a portion of their own expenses. It is true that they also receive aid from the general funds, but even so, the amount they have to get for themselves is larger than that of any of the minor teams, and, if we take the two, larger than those of all the minor sports put together.

For the first four innings the game was very even, but during the last six innings timely hitting by the Seniors, added to costly errors and stupid base-running by the Freshmen, secured the game for the 1905 team...
