February 18: Young is flattened. Josh Caplan is bashed. MacDonald never sets foot on the ice. But Harvard hangs on to defuse the Engineers, 4-3 in overtime, to end a six-game road streak...
...small. The college men turned out in large numbers and under an efficient leader cheered well, doing much toward winning the game. The effect of the enthusiasm was plainly shown by the way in which the nine worked during the eighth inning. Harvard won the game more by a streak of good luck than anything else. The two errors made by Princeton in the seventh cost them the game. Harvard's batting was very poor. Only 3 for 4 does not appear well when placed beside 6 for 8. Dean and Henshaw deserve especial mention, and Willard's coaching...

There have been occasional causes for complaint, such as the streak of bad butter two or three weeks since, the over-flavored ice cream a few days ago and others, doubtless, that did not affect the whole hall. Only constant vigilance on the part of the directors, and a willingness to learn from such mistakes on the part of the steward, can prevent these mishaps. Accidents will happen in the best-regulated families, whether they number 8 or 800. The students do not realize what a big thing...
