...location of the cricket crease is attended with great danger to spectators of base-ball games on Jarvis. Several narrow escapes are reported, and a few days ago a student was temporarily disabled by being struck with the heavy cricket ball. It is a very simple matter for the men playing cricket to so locate themselves that the most likely direction taken by the ball will not be into the crowd gathered about the base ball field, or sitting on the few seats yet remaining on Jarvis. If no other location for the cricket crease can be found, every possible...
...often by the unexpected victories of a weak team over one reputed to be of much greater strength. No better example of this could be asked than the result of the Brown game at Providence last year, when we lost not only the game but the championship. The narrow escape from defeat which Yale had at Amherst is another and recent warning to the nine to play every game as sharply and well as its capabilities admit...
...return Harvard-Cambridge game was played yesterday afternoon on the grounds of the latter club, a field at the corner of Brookline and Allston streets, Cambridgeport.

The game was called at 6.15, and Cambridge won the first goal...

But the unfortunate reputation acquired in some past decade still clings vigorously in the minds of many, minds that must be either narrow or willfully ignorant. The services in the college chapel are of so unsec tarian a nature that any regular attender would soon see how absurd is the idea that brands Harvard as a "Unitarian college." A true view of the case can only be obtained by those who lead...
