...realize this condition of affairs. Unless they realize it once for all this afternoon, there is little hope of our winning the game. The freshmen are our representatives and the college must support them as enthusiastically as it does the 'varsity. In other words, to repeat, the college must turn out in a body to the game and must do some of the most vociferous cheering that has ever been heard on Holmes Field...
...exhibition of base-running which the nine gave. It would have disgraced the weakest school team. In the first place, as soon as a Harvard runner got on a base it seemed to be the signal for him to show utter disregard of the coaching. The coachers in their turn got "rattled," and whenever the runners deigned to pay the slightest attention to their coaching, invariably told them to do the wrong thing.

...between four men, T. Barron '91, O. B. Hawes '93, F. S. Pratt '94 and G. F. Taylor '94. The first quarter was done in 43 seconds when Taylor took the lead and set the pace, making each successive lap faster than the one before it.

S., and Nichols '94, and sprinted for the tape, Lowell finishing first in 4 minutes, 34 1-5 seconds, White a close second...
...something of a relief to turn from the tension of "The Brazen Android" to the portion of a hitherto unpublished journal of Richard Henry Dana, which describes a voyage on the Grand Canal of China. The most charming part of the paper is that where Mr. Dana gives us a picture of the exquisite courtesy and politeness of a certain Chinese gentleman named U-u. This U-u showed a characteristic bit of Chinese courtesy-which might be recommended to Harvard men-when, declining to smoke more than one or two puffs of a cigar given him by a friend...
