...same head coach as last year, the seasoned material on the squad has played well together from the first, and no important changes in coaching or development were made necessary. The nine has won more than the usual proportion of games played, in spite of the most unfavorable weather conditions that have prevailed for many years. The schedule this year has not been as hard as in former years, which was perhaps fortunate, considering the continuous bad weather. Lately, however, the team has successfully come through a number of hard games, which should serve to season the men well, although...
There has been an abundance of pitching material this year, and although the bad weather has affected the pitchers more than any of the other players, both the pitchers are now very effective and are also good hitters. The team is better off in this respect than it has been for a long time...
...University crew took its last time row on the Charles on Saturday. The weather was very unfavorable and the water in the basin so rough that smooth rowing was impossible. In spite of these bad conditions, however, the row was the most satisfactory the crew has had yet.

Harvard defeated Brown in a close game Wednesday by a score of 3 to 1. The cold weather and poor condition of the field made both pitching and fielding very difficult, and taking this into consideration both teams played well. Harvard did some hard hitting, but the victory was due rather to Stillman's steadiness with men on bases. Except for two errors in the eighth inning Harvard played a brilliant game in the field...
