...above is only a sample of the way in which newspaper reporters get things mixed. It is no wonder that the Board of Overseers talk of the "continual recriminations" offered by one nine to another in the intercollegiate league when they read such lies in the columns of the daily press. On the occasion mentioned above, there was absolutely no hissing whatever on the part of the Harvard men; and, in fact, the conduct of the spectators on both sides was perfectly decent and gentlemanly throughout the game.

...general sentiment of college has become much manlier and more sensible. The growth of athletics has assisted considerably in producing this change for the better. There is no more conservative body than the undergraduates of a college. They are slaves to tradition, and think that because a thing has existed for some time it must always continue.

We congratulate the members of the nine on their excellent work of Saturday, and we feel hopeful in regard to the championship. However, there is one thing to be guarded against; it has often been the stumbling-block of Harvard teams. We mean over-confidence. Yale on her own ground is a dangerous opponent, and such an opponent we shall have to contend against next Saturday. Harvard is now at the head of the intercollegiate league...
