...Braves in Boston on Monday, April 11, in the event that the game scheduled between the Red Sox and Braves for the previous Saturday is not cancelled because of bad weather. This will mark the Crimson's first appearance against a major league club since 1916, when Eddie Mahan succeeded in twirling his nine to a 2 to 0 triumph over the Red Sox, an outfit which later annexed the world's pennant. Coach Mitchell was in charge of that Harvard team of 11 years...
...formerly chairman of the Baseball Advisory Committee, will have charge of gathering together an alumni team. Last year, after a bad start in the first inning, the Harvard graduates played the University nine practically to a standstill. An effort will be made by Abbott to enlist the services of Mahan to pitch for the alumni...
Captain Ellison is at the same time one of the most awkward and the most effective of hockey players. With a peculiar gait, comparable perhaps to that displayed by great open field runners such as Grange and Mahan, he moves up the ice at a speed that is not apparent from the spectators' seats.

Harvard's 133 to 60 total in points scored, the solid certain rise in Crimson stock, the anxious thumbing in city rooms of old records of Brickley Mahan Hardwick, Casey and Owen for adjectives to apply to the Crimson backfield, all those are the reasons for the slight odds on the Crimson this morning. But "What Price Roper and Slagle?" is the question on the lips of Harvard coaches. These two have done things on New Haven turf and in Philadelphia City Council meetings, which smack of the unexpected. Three weeks Princeton has had to perfect those weeks Princeton...
