...Crimson has regained its prestige on the ball field. The magnificient victory over the celebrated Pittsburg team which has given the Bostons such a hard rub during the past week should create a spirit of confidence which ought to prove invincible in the remaining contests. We hope our nine will gain the success it has labored to obtain...
...spectators at the Yale-Harvard game in New Haven; nothing, it seems to me, could have been much more unseemly than the "muckerish" conduct of the men on Holmes Field yesterday.

In case, however, that any one is prevented by pecuniary or other difficulties from leaving Cambridge, we would like to call to mind the fact that the Spring Meeting takes place this afternoon. Judging from the sports on Monday, and the faithful training of the candidates for the Mott Haven team, we may predict unusually interesting sports. If the weather conditions are good, there is a chance that new records may be made in the half and quarter...
