...Columbia will be disagreeable reading for Harvard men. It is a long time since a Harvard nine has been 'blanked,' and the experience is an extremely unpleasant one. The game was not marked by any incidents deserving of mention, except the fine play of Cooper at short. The visitors got their runs by bunching their hits and by Harvard bunching their errors. Ayrault pitched a fine game, allowing only two scattering hits to be made off his delivery. Nichols - as was to be expected - did not show up in his usual good form.

...annual boat race with Harvard this year it will not be for lack of work and professional coaching. Last year the crew had only amateur instruction, and not so much of that as they needed, while their rivals certainly enjoyed much professional advice, no matter how they got it.

This was a severe drawback, as the positions of the members of the crew had to be very materially changed. But they have...

The necessity of constant excellence in practice is realized by everybody, so that when any excellence is displayed; there is good reason for gratification. Our teams thus far have done well; and they have got to continue doing well if they are to succeed against the strong rivals that they must meet sooner or later. Every game in practice is an opportunity for a team to strengthen itself for future contests, and as much should be made of it as possible. The practice games, moreover, though...
