...when the course of the university seems to be backward. The prayer petition refused, Greek downtrodden, foot ball abolished,- at such a time, what a relief to find one body of men so alive to the interests of the hour ! Yet stay. Can it be that this unexpected, and reckless waste of money is prompted by the expectation of the numerous sheckels which will flow into the strong box of the association this morning, as the members line up to pay an additional fifty cents for their tickets over the price which was in vogue last year. Truly generosity...
Although not very instructive, it is certainly amusing to note the reckless newspaper fights in which our Yale and Princeton exchanges are now engaged. The charges and countercharges which are made are truly wonderful, especially when we consider that the people of these United States are accustomed to base at least a large part of their assertions upon fact, and not rely entirely upon fancy.

The band was warmly applauded along the route, and also met with a very...
...regular Brown battery. The fielding of the nine was very good, even for a nine which is noted for its fielding, while the batting was quite heavy. The only thing that marred the playing of the Harvard nine was the poor base-running, several points being lost by reckless coaching. In this one respect the playing of the nine should be much improved before we meet such opponents as Yale or Princeton, whose superiority in this respect is well known. The exhibition of umpiring was unparalleled, many of the decisions being so absurd as to excite the derision...
