From the account of the candidates for the nine which we publish to-day, it will be seen that Harvard's chances for success on the diamond this year are very slight indeed. With five vacant places to fill the outlook is not very encouraging. Our greatest rivals, Yale and Princeton, have also suffered in this way, but not nearly as much as Harvard has. It is only by the very hardest work that we can hope for any degree of success whatever. Captain Willard we are sure will do all he can but he is laboring under great disadvantages...
...have been requested by the management of the Cricket Association, to make known these facts. This year, but very few freshmen have joined the Association, and it is from their number that new men are looked for to fill up the vacancies on the team. There is no reason whatever, why Harvard should not have as good a Cricket eleven as the University of Pennsylvania. The freshmen especially, among whom we have every reason to believe there is good material, are invited to join the Association and come out next spring and try for positions on the team. We trust...
...proved their fitness for the position; by fitness we do not mean mere ability to write weak editorials on nothing, but to handle real, strong, forcible English, to write clearly and legibly, and above all things to have ideas. There are undoubtedly twenty men in either class qualified to fill these places, and we want to know them all, or at least know where to find them. Again, it is our honored custom to elect a freshman editor at the beginning of the second volume, immediately after the mid years. The contributions from '90 have thus far been many...
...always subjects of ridicule in a country where the majority of the inhabitants have for years been accustomed to look upon "self-made" men and home made educations and cultured men as superfluous things. The newspaper that appeals to the largest and most ignorant audience is sure to fill its columns with just such nonsense as this; and just such nonsense as this is accepted by half its readers as gospel truth, and a reason upon which to most vigorously malign and blaspheme at colleges...
...concerning our "attacks upon the freshman eleven." We think that the remark should have been ascribed to the Courant. We are sorry for the misunderstanding but cannot but deplore the puerile spirit of the New's reply in which we are accused of coining questionable stories in order to fill space. The writer of the reply must have known that the mistake arose the habit of ascribing all that is distinctively Yaleism to the News...
