...train to stand so much daily work. Princeton's great advantage of course lies in beginning work before the middle of September. Then as most of the men are upper classmen whose play and positions are comparatively well known, the team is soon permanently picked out, and an almost faultless team play results. Give Harvard, with her superior material, such foot-ball advantages as these, and our eleven would be the best in the country. To these add scientific coaching such as the Yale eleven gets, -coaching that would enable us to take our largest and best men and teach...
...ever a nine deserved to win a game of ball by good playing, the Yale nine deserved to win the game on Saturday. With the single exception of Jones giving two men their bases on called balls, the play of the Yale men was absolutely faultless. Jones' pitching was effective, Hubbard's catching and throwing to bases was perfect, Hopkins and Terry vied with each other in seeing which could put in the best work in the field. The batting was heavy and the base-running sharp. The whole nine played to win and it won. Harvard played a good...

Both the pitchers did good work, Chamberlain striking out ten men and being hit for only five...

...nine as a whole is to be congratulated on the steadiness and coolness of its play in the field. The batting, as was to be expected, was very weak. For Yale, Hubbard caught a faultless game, while Jones was very effective as pitcher. Other features of the game for Yale were the second base play of Terry, the base running of Hopkins and the batting of Jones and Childs. The result of the game was decidedly encouraging for the Harvard nine. The following is the score...
