The freshman classes of Yale and Harvard have played base-ball against each other for the past seventeen years, except in 1871. At the opening of another season it may be of interest to glance over the record. Of the thirty games played, Yale has won twenty-one and Harvard nine. Three games, however, were for some reason or another forfeited by Harvard, giving them to Yale with scores of 9 to 0. These contests were inangurated by the class of '69, and the earliest games resulted in favor of Yale by such scores as 36 to 33, 38 to 18, made by '69 and '70. The lowest score was made by Yale '83, 1 to 0. Since 1876, when Harvard '79 won two out of three games, thirteen games have gone to Yale, and only two to Harvard. The class championship has therefore been held continuously by Yale for the last six years.
