PRINCETON, June 2. The nine returned unexpectedly on Tuesday morning. The news heard early Monday evening of the only half expected victory, created such a disturbance that the Decoration Day exercises in the First Church, presided over by Governor Green, was somewhat annoyed. Fires, drums, and a general noise gave evidence of college feeling. There is a too well grounded feeling that the old cannon in the middle of the campus has seen far too few fires for victories of late years. Princeton seems to have started, and only started, back to a respectable showing in track athletics. The bottom...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - Since the freshman game with Yale on Wednesday. I have heard many adverse criticisms on the action of the freshman class and the conduct of the nine. Although I heartily coinside with your correspondents of yesterday and the day before in condemning the action of the nine's supporters, still I see no reason why the members or any member of the nine itself should be run drown, simply because they did not succeed in defeating their opponents.

...some time it has been whispered about among the athletic men of the university that a remarkably stimulant had been discovered by a certain natural history student here. All the old Cornellians have heard of Moses, '73. He was a remarkable individual, very brilliant in some ways, but odd, in everything. Many a strange story is still told about him, and his experiments in chemistry, perhaps we should say alchemy, have been repeated from student to student, year after year...
...sport. The treatment received by the Harvard men was, however, far more courteous than usual. Tin horns, once the essence of Yale cheering, were almost wanting, and when a man got his base on three strikes, one could address a friend a couple of yards away and still be heard distinctly. We suppose that this slight noise was an outburst of patriotism which could not be surpressed, but needed to give vent to itself in order to keep the Yale team at its work, as defeat was so imminent...
...enormous crowd in attendance. The grand stand was packed with spectators and rows of carriages three or four deep nearly surrounded the whole field. There were two or three very unpleasant features connected with the game. The crowd cheered at Harvard's errors, and crys of "drop it" were heard whenever a fly was knocked to one of our men. Such ungentlemanly and "muckerish" treatment is certainly not to be expected from college men. The Yale nine treated the Harvard team courteously. and it is to be regretted that as much cannot be said of the spectators. The umpiring...
