...addition to the meetings mentioned there was a barbecue at the Country Club this afternoon. But the striking feature of the whole meeting was the perfectly unanimous sense of approval, by all present, of President Lowell in every particular. This fact cannot but have impressed itself on his mind and will doubtless be a great inspiration to him just at this time when there are pressing upon him the responsibilities of the great office to which he has been elected
...Freshman line-up will be practically the same as that in the first game with the Yale freshmen last Tuesday at New Haven, when Yale was defeated 6 to 4. The Cornell team has played very erratic ball throughout the season, due in part to the fact that its opponents have been extremely weak. In the last four games the Cornell freshmen have beaten the Pennsylvania freshmen 10 to 9, Cascadilla School 17 to 1, Ithaca High School 22 to 5, and Stiles School 13 to 1. Their fielding is much stronger than their batting, and the team is exceptionally...

Throughout the season the fielding has been good, especially that of the infield in spite of the fact that the team-play has been somewhat hampered by an injury to Kennedy, the regular first baseman. The batting, particularly that of Conant and Potter has been far above the general average of a Freshman team, though it is erratic at times...
...extend our heartiest congratulations to the first Harvard baseball team that has defeated Princeton at Princeton in thirteen years. Against opponents that had the advantage of playing on their own grounds before enthusiastic partisans, the University nine scored a victory almost as decisive as the shutout at Cambridge. The fact that Princeton was able to score only one run in both games, as compared with Harvard's ten, is convincing evidence of the relative strength of the two teams...
