It is useless for us to try to award sufficient praise to the University nine. Their hard and patient work has been crowned by signal triumph. They have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. They have played and won the hardest up-hill game in the steadiest manner possible. Time after time an error in one of these last five innings would have defeated us; but our nine never faltered for an instant, was never nervous or confused, and always did the right thing. Well, the most exciting game the association ever chronicled is over, and after our wild rejoicings of last night we can soberly look forward to what lies before us. With hard work on the part of the nine, - and no one doubts but that they will work harder than ever, now that victory lies within their grasp, - there ought to be a feeling of renewed confidence in our powers. Some of the games played recently had a disheartening effect on the college; but yesterday's game will go far to repair it.
A feeling of relief is felt throughout the college, now that the crucial test of the Princeton game is past. The nine henceforth goes on to victory, with the belief and trust of the whole body of undergraduates to strengthen and encourage them.
