...Yale freshman nine did not play the Princeton freshman last Wednesday owing to the Harvard-Yale freshman game tomorrow...
After the good work done by the nine earlier in the season, after having defeated Princeton on her own grounds, we were not prepared for such a wretched showing as that made by Harvard yesterday afternoon. The nine, by its hard work, its evident ability to play an up-hill game, had raised the hopes of the college, and although we knew that the fight for the championship would be close, yet we hoped that the nine on its own grounds at least would keep up its reputation and win a leading place for Harvard. With a good lead early...
...championship are well nigh gone. By winning the four remaining games we shall get the first place, but only by a decided improvement can we do this.

Saturday's game must be won, but cannot be by any such listless, weak playing as was seen yesterday...
Saturday the freshman nine plays the Yale freshmen at New Haven. Although Ninety-two managed to win the game in Cambridge, it was clearly shown that only by hard work and sharp and steady play could they beat Yale on her own grounds.

...spite of the threatening weather of the morning, a large crowd of Harvard supporters occupied the seats on Holmes, while Princeton sent a very small delegation to encourage her team. Those few were repaid by seeing their nine play a fine game individually and collectively. Brokaw's throwing to bases was very good, while the outfielders were sure catchers. Ames was down on the score card to pitch, but Young, the freshman pitcher took his place. He gave seven bases on balls, but his general work was very good. He kept his head well, allowing Harvard to bunch her hits...
