...least one afternoon in the week, for matches if not more practice? We do not see why this could not be arranged without much interference with the base-ball men, who are really the only ones who use the upper part of Holmes field. We can well understand any outcry which may be raised against this unheard-of suggestion, but "fair play" ought to be one of Harvard's mottoes, and we are sure the cricket eleven will repay whatever small amout of care and attention it may please the mighty lords of the athletic association to bestow upon that...
...inspired much serious thought. Harvard certainly ought not to be behind other colleges in readiness to is to an earnest and scholarly Christian; a broad-minded man of to day, who comes in a peculiarly friendly capacity as a delegate from the universities of the old country. We understand that Professor Drummond's meetings, which are definitely announced only for Sunday and Monday, may perhaps be continued somewhat longer...

But let those...

The nine is entitled to a great deal of credit for their work at Harvard, but they must understand that their recent victory does not end their work. They have defeated Harvard once and won the "fence," and several of the men seem to think that that is sufficient. The men must realize that, after having won a game from Harvard on her own grounds, there will be no excuse...
