Yesterday afternoon '89 and '90 played the closest game of the season thus far. '90 put Young in to catch Sabine, Slade covering third, and Jones second base. The change was not an advantageous one, as neither men filled their positions acceptably. Young caught Sabine well, although he got somewhat "rattled" at times. In the first inning, '90 made five runs on hits and errors of '89. After this '89 got down to work and for the rest of the game played a sharp fielding game. '89 was unable to hit Sabine reffectually, but their few hits were welltimed...
Harvard cannot afford to let her men get into such bad habits. The disgrace has gone far enough. Will the captains of the class nines take a firm position and stop any game that is interrupted by the vulgarity of men who believe that personal abuse constitutes...

In New York Harvard stands as the embodiment of Boston and Boston's peculiarities. For that reason she is assailed, but with an animosity which is far out of proportion to the Boston element in our population. But the New York press would do well to remember that Harvard is not a local affair although the prevailing influence here may come from the shores of Massachusetts Bay. Hence if they have any spite to vent upon this...
...method of encouraging a nine or team, and have wondered whether it would or not call out some comment from the students or alumni. I do not doubt it serves as a stimulus to the players, but to me it would seem to do so at the sacrifice of far more desirable results. Why should athletics be supported by a pronounced and well led body of claquers? What merit or credit in the playing when backed by a mechanical system of applause...
