...music was selected and arranged by M. A. Taylor, '89, and much of the success of the performance is due to his work in this respect and as leader of the orchestra. The scenery was painted from desighs made by W. G. Rantoul...
...very much to be hoped that there may never be a repetition of the unfortunate misunderstanding which prevented the playing of the annual Harvard-Yale football game last fall. With a view to this, representatives of the two colleges have, during the past week, endeavored to come to some agreement in regard to the place where the game shall be played. It is gratifying to note that there is every reason to hope that a satisfactory arrangement will be concluded. The arrangement will be for a permanent meeting place. This is very desirable as it will do away with...
Within the past few days the Yale crew has been very severely criticised by Mr. "Bob" Cook, the trainer, but as this is an annual occurrance, it does not carry much weight with it in forming an opinion of the crew. He says in brief that the watermanship is good and in advance of former years, but the stroke is very short and far from the long sweeping swing that has brought victory to Yale for the past few years.

The only changes in the nine were in the battery, Hollis catching in place of Child, and at short-stop, Spaulding taking Thorndyke's place. In both the games the nine was very weak...
Only three games were played. The showing made by Harvard in these games was not entirely satisfactory, but despite this there is every reason to think that a good nine will be developed from the material now being worked. The batteries are much stronger than it was expected they would be. Hawley pitched in the first game at Philadelpia, and his work was much better than the base hit column of the Philadelphia's would indicate. The fielding in this game, especially that of the infield was by far the worst during the trip. McLeod pitched in the second game...
