This was our third game with Princeton, and, as she was defeated in both the former games, a like result was looked for in this one. Our men, however, had to cope with a remarkably strong Nine, flushed with their victory of 10 to 9 over Yale, and anxious to hang the Harvard scalp in the New Jersey wigwam.

The game was an exciting one, and the score, 3 to 1, was, we believe, the smallest ever made...

About twenty men have agreed to take the half-fare tickets, should they be provided. We hope that every student who is able to do so will accompany our Nine to Yale. Hearty encouragement from a crowd of fellow-students will help our men far towards victory; besides which a good game may be expected, as both clubs are in excellent practice...
