EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - I wish to say a few words about the treatment accorded the Yale freshmen nine yesterday afternoon by the portion of the audience composed of Harvard undergraduates, In a recent issue you took occasion to criticise the unseemly conduct of the spectators at the Yale-Harvard game in New Haven; nothing, it seems to me, could have been much more unseemly than the "muckerish" conduct of the men on Holmes Field yesterday. During a six years residence in Cambridge I have never seen its equal for ungentlemanliness, and hope never to again. As long as possible...
...been discovered by a certain natural history student here. All the old Cornellians have heard of Moses, '73. He was a remarkable individual, very brilliant in some ways, but odd, in everything.

...credit of the men that three of the records were so nearly broken. Cogswell's time in the half-mile run, Wright's in the mile walk, and Merrill's in the bicycle race were all of them so close to the Harvard records that it is safe to say that the records would have gone under more favorable conditions...
