...Bostons play the Yale nine to-day in New Haven...
...Mott Haven games in New York last spring, the H. A. A. was not represented in the hurdle race, but, from the present outlook, such will not be the case this year. It was felt last year that much depended on the short flat races. Yale and Columbia had fast and experienced hurdlers, while Harvard had none at regular work. Hurdling is a race which requires quite as much "knack" as physical qualities. With such a handicap it was thought unwise to sacrifice any of our sprinters to a probable failure. This year, however, a new hurdle race has been...
...with regularity since Christmas. The men are unusually proficient in sliding, the patent apparatus of Captain Stagg being of especial benefit. Yale men place the greatest hope in their battery, for which they have several men in training in addition to Stagg and Dann. Yesterday the nine left New Haven and went to Pottstown, Penn., where the season will be opened to-day with the Hills School nine. Captain Stagg has taken as many new men as possible on the trip, and the make-up of the nine for to-day's game will be weak. Probably the freshman battery...
...Harvard is going to get back the Mott Haven cup in May, the men on whom she relies to win it for her have got to stop going backward and begin going forward.

We also congratulate the college at large, for with such a team at Mott Haven our chances for one event are pretty well assured. The class tug-of-war teams that have pulled against '88 must acknowledge that they have had worthy adversaries, and that fact ought to lessen the bitterness of defeat. With our congratulations go our best wishes for success at Mott Haven...
