...contest during those fast flying years when they were themselves at old Harvard, there is apparent today throughout the University, an explicable feeling that is in the very air of Cambridge; among the men on the various athletic teams as well as among the undergraduates at large. A lifeless, listless attitude toward everything; a "we can't-help-it" spirit that is sickening. In short a total lack of real, whole souled enthusiasm...
...this. If we lose again to Princeton on Saturday, we will have no hope whatever. The nine has shown that it could play a strong game and we hope that from now on it will retrieve itself. Saturday's game must be won, but cannot be by any such listless, weak playing as was seen yesterday...
...much hard luck since the season opened. It has been steadily improving, however, and has made a fair showing in the class games.

We sincerely hope and trust that, whatever the outcome of this afternoon's contest may be, it will not be necessary to condemn the players for playing a game like that in the first part of Saturday...
...best which has been played here this year. Harvard played a good up hill game after the second inning, and the tying of the score was due to steady, cool playing. The work of the infield was good with the exception of the short stop who played a rather listless game. The base running was poor, for the simple reason that the base runners did not pay close attention to the coaching Wilkesbarre got a run in the first on a hit, Cumming's fumble in left field, a passed ball and a sacrifice. She got three more runs...

Every man played with a snap and vigor which is in striking contrast to the usual listless work of the team. Amory, Walcott and Everett did especially good work on the defence. Davis played home instead of defence as usual, and made the only goal of the game...
