...over; and on the bases the men are doing better. Currier's catching is as energetic and effective as formerly and his throwing is excellent. Briggs fits in splendidly at first and fields his position well, and McCall and Simons around second base are covering even more ground than last year. The outfield, with Captain Dexter, Harvey, and Pounds, is fielding well, but Pounds is not playing as well as last year yet, and uses poor judgment with his throws and while running bases.

...counteract its many advantages and which can only be overcome by some unusual effort--artificial at first, perhaps, but soon becoming real and natural. We are not ashamed that Yale has noticed our effort and we believe that every Harvard man will be glad to meet Yale on the ground of equality and mutual respect...
