...listlessness, over-confidence, and general demoralization of the Yale crew. And the CRIMSON warns the Harvard crew against putting any faith in such 'wails.' Moreover, the CRIMSON cites as an instance of such a wail's proving only a 'gag,' the articles which appeared in the Yale papers last fall about the foot-ball team, adding that the team afterwards proved so strong that Princeton had considerable difficulty in defeating it. Yes, if we remember rightly, Princeton did experience a little difficulty in vanquishing the Yale eleven-a difficulty which may be well seen from the score: Yale 6; Princeton...
...Brown came to the plate, Nichols won applause by repeating his performance of the previous inning, and retiring his men in order. Harvard scored its first run in the fourth. Nichols was sharply fielded out at first. Willard hit a fairly easy grounder to Cook, and seemed about to fall an easy victim at first, but Cook threw the ball five feet over Seagrave's head, allowing Willard to reach third. Allen went out on a long fly to left field, which allowed Willard to score. Smith was sent to first on balls, but Edgerly closed the inning by sending...

Now Yale freshmen always have an independent way of acting with our freshmen that is truly original: if they fear a defeat on account of a weak team, they "crawl" as their freshman eleven did last fall, or their '87 nine did a year ago; if they have an unusually strong team, they win one game and then in a calm way refuse to play any more games because they have the series "cold," as they claim. Now we do not claim that our freshmen could have...
...pleasant and inspiring, to the grounds on Brattle street is not very probable, however pleasant to others and advantageous to the Annex it might be. But the fact that this great good fortune is denied to the Annex is no reason why no other fortune should fall to it. It is to be hoped that there will soon appear some wealthy person or persons who will bestow upon this really worthy institution, the Harvard Annex, some good and well equipped buildings and spacious grounds, which shall be at once modestly far from and conveniently near to the university...
