...rest, reminded him of the office he was supposed to fill. For his sake, we should also like to hint mildly that an umpire's business does not consist in coaching the members of a team in whose interest college ties bind him. In short, the nine has every reason to feel aggrieved at their treatment, and we are only sorry that a game was arranged at all with the University of Pennsylvania...
...bases. Every game the Freshmen have played has been characterized by the senseless carelessness of their base-running. Recklessness in running bases may look pretty, but it rarely wins games.

The idea of returning the briefs to the juniors is an improvement over...

Had it not been for the attendant circumstances of the day, the time made and distance covered in the various competitions would undoubtedly have been better, but even as it was the H. A. A. have good reason to congratulate themselves upon the breaking of two records. The running in the half-mile race was such as any college might point to with pride, and the record made in throwing the hammer, although not up to the best college record, gives every reason to hope that Harvard will be able...
