While we are of the opinion that it is somewhat early to get discouraged about the season's baseball prospects, we still believe that Harvard has a right to expect a better exhibition at any time than that of the nine on Saturday. It is easy to blame the defeat to individual weakness in a single inning, but coming as this did early in the game, it should have proved an incentive to snappy and careful play. The Tufts nine was by no means a strong one, and its lead of four runs in the first inning no insurmountable difficulty...
...defeat of the 'varsity may be attributed directly to the failure to hit the ball.

The Weld float will probably be got out in a couple of days, so that men can begin this practice in watermanship promptly. Higginson and Biddle are also coaching the squad...
