...unavoidable and might well be termed a good example of Harvard luck. We sincerely hope the accident well not prove serious and that the gentleman will soon be able to take up his racquet in Harvard's defence. This accident of course prevented our winning the doubles, which accordingly went by default. Our other representative was not in his usual condition and was badly bothered by the wretched condition of the courts and the heavy balls which were used. However, the fact remains that we were defeated and no amount of excuses will repair the damage. Harvard must look...
...third round Knapp beat Sears, 6-4, 1-6, 6-1, and Taylor beat Brinley one set, 6-2, and the score was 1-1 on the second, when Taylor fell and broke or twisted a tendon of his wrist and the play went to Brinley by default.

...underwent the same experience. In lacrosse we were soundly beaten by both Princeton and Yale, and took our place at the bottom of the list instead of at the top. On the Thames, our crews which began the year under as favorable suspicious as ever attended a crew, went to pieces at New London, barely won a race from Columbia's wretched crew and were beaten by Yale, Everyone knows how Yale in spite of several new men in the boat and a radically changed stroke, by houest and intelligent work, backed by honest enthusiasm, turned out a crew which...
