...chief reason for Harvard's defeat was the ragged fielding which was noticeable throughout the game, and which was plainly caused by nervousness. Most of the errors were made on difficult plays, but several were quite inexcusable and proved very costly. In batting Harvard was distinctly superior to Princeton, but was unfortunate in not bunching hits at the right time. Clarkson deserves a great deal of credit for his excellent work with the stick. Twice he came to bat with a man on third base, and each time he brought in a run, beside making a third hit, which...
...careless playing by any one, for this is a thing that the students will not forgive. The more uphill the game the greater must be the determination to win in the end.

Yesterday a committee of students had a conference with certain members of the Faculty, and the students presented a petition concerning the method of celebrating a victory. As yet no action has been taken, and everything is hanging in the balance. A little exhibition of a wrong...
