Harvard played a fair fielding game in the first part of the game but their batting was very weak. They did not seem to hit the ball squarely and they kept batting it into the air. This proved disasterous with such a fine fielding team as Yale has. Campbell caught remarkably well, and Boyden pitched a good game up to the eighth inning. He was especially effective when there were men on bases. Mumford and Wiestling fielded well. Yale played a wonderful game both at the bat and in the field. Their battery work was about perfect and McConkey...
...years I have watched the growth of this method of encouraging a nine or team, and have wondered whether it would or not call out some comment from the students or alumni. I do not doubt it serves as a stimulus to the players, but to me it would seem to do so at the sacrifice of far more desirable results. Why should athletics be supported by a pronounced and well led body of claquers? What merit or credit in the playing when backed by a mechanical system of applause...
...rooms is made, we are once again reminded of the great unfairness of a system which gives a subfreshman equal rights with members of the University. Very often men graduate without having ever lived in the yard, although they have tried for rooms every year. It certainly does not seem more than right that present college men should be given the preference over intended college men. This complaint is such an old one, that we are ashamed to be obliged to renew it, but it is so well grounded that we feel sure it will some day be listened...
...class nine contest is for he purpose of developing material for the 'Varsity nine, not for the purpose of restricting it. The present restriction in regard to the pitchers of the '88 and '89 nines does not seem to aid that object, but is a hindrance rather than an advantage to the true base-ball interests of Harvard. We look for a remedy of the matter before many days...
...Harvard boys say they have a poor crew to represent American oarsmen, and complain of the action of the faculty, which prohibits them from hiring a professional "coach." Then, again, the Cambridge crew is probably the most formidable collection of amateur oarsmen in the world, and it would seem that nothing but the very best training of the very best men in Harvard should be pitted against such famous champions...
