...game yesterday went to show that a halt should be called already. Certain means of rattling the players, testing their coolness and nerve are perfectly legitimate; but let the interference stop there. After all, the object is to see which team can play the better and steadier game, and any practices which prevent a team from playing its best (beyond the practices of legitimate rattling) are distinctly to be discouraged. Using mirrors to throw the sunlight into the players' eyes, a practice which was fortunately stopped after the first few innings, is going decidedly too far. The teams, we repeat...
...varsity. The Ninety-four team was very unsteady at first and threw all over the field, and as the balls were simply tossed over the plate, the 'varsity made over a dozen runs in the first inning. After this, however, the freshmen displayed a little more judgment and were steadier. Soule took Dean's place and Mason played third.

The combination, however, of a batting streak, and Yale's errors in the eighth inning...
...third game between the seniors and the freshmen for the class championship in base ball was stopped during the fourth inning by rain. The score at that time was 4 to 3 in favor of ninety-three. The freshmen were playing by far the steadier game, not having had an error in the four innings they were in the field. The seniors were doing the heavier batting; they secured eight hits off Wiggin in the four innings, but the excellent fielding of ninety-three forced them to earn all their runs, and thus held the score down. The feature...
