The news from the Freshmen at New Haven, coming on top of the victory here, was too much for our elated fellow-students. About two hundred of them found relief in a "sing" in front of Hollis, winding up with "Fair Harvard," "Auld Lang Syne," and a mammoth ring around the yard.
HARVARD'76 vs. YALE ACADEMIC AND SCIENTIFIC'76, New Haven, May 31.
Our Freshman Nine arrived in New Haven on Friday evening, and were received at the station by the Yale men, whose attentions to them from the time of arrival to that of departure rendered their visit extremely pleasant. Saturday's game was called at 2.50 P.M. by Mr. Williams, Yale '73, who acted as umpire. The play of our Freshmen showed very great improvement over that displayed in their games here, only two errors, we believe, being their share of the day's blunders. As the record shows, the game was all one way from the first, and resulted in a Harvard victory of 25 to 4. '76 is the first Freshman Class that has beaten Yale since '71, and we heartily congratulate the Nine upon their success.

HARVARD '76. YALE '76.
