Owing to the "crawling" of the Yale 'varsity nine our nine was compelled to play Williams for the championship; Williams was unhappily victorious to the tune of 39 to 37, and the Yale freshmen beat the Harvard freshmen 36 to 33. The Williams audience "had a way of crowing over any bad luck on our side with a Yi! Yi!
