...that if the championship series is awarded to Yale with only one game to its credit, a dangerous precedent is established at once. Now Yale freshmen always have an independent way of acting with our freshmen that is truly original: if they fear a defeat on account of a weak team, they "crawl" as their freshman eleven did last fall, or their '87 nine did a year ago; if they have an unusually strong team, they win one game and then in a calm way refuse to play any more games because they have the series "cold," as they claim...

Only two hits were made off of Winslow, both being scratch hits, while the score shows the heavy batting of Harvard. The only run made by the Cambridges, was made in the seventh inning, a muff by Willard, a passed ball, a force...
