EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- After seeing a great game like Saturdays-wild enthusiasm, frantic cheering, the great rush at the end, and all the other stirring incidents of the scene-it is most dampening to read the meagre and cold-blooded accounts of it in all the papers. I notice that the CRIMSON even reduces the first individual feat in the game, Boyden's run, to this: "Harvard's down; ball passed back to Boyden," etc. Won't you correct this and put in print that Boyden took the ball running from a long punt at the middle of the field...

Soon after the Pierians were forced to make a safety, and the half closed with the score...

Surely little Fritz and Heinrich and Annchen and Kaetchie must see the gay colors and the prancing horses, albeit the pressure of the crowd, forcing their tender necks against the ropes over which they hung on tiptoe, threatened slow strangulation, if not instant decapitation. Frantic vendors charge up and down the street, bawling out the name and nature of their wares: Photographs of Heidelberg, programmes of the procession, jubilee medals, whips, whistles, badges, sandwiches and pretzels.

...third. Wiestling sent a long fly to Brigham which was neatly handled by him. Smith struck out, but Dann muffed the third strike, allowing Edgerly to score and Smith to reach first. A scene of wild uproar followed and play was delayed for five minutes during the most frantic cheers. Phillips made a sacrifice hit which Dann fumbled, allowing Phillips to reach first and Smith second. Amid most intense excitement, the umpire called Nichols out on strikes and the inning closed with the score tied...
