The performance of the Freshman nine at Amherst on Saturday was not a very creditable one. The Amherst Freshman nine is reported as being very good and it is not the defeat that we refer to so much as the lack of energy that has been displayed since the Harvard game. The nine is entitled to a great deal of credit for their work at Harvard, but they must understand that their recent victory does not end their work. They have defeated Harvard once and won the "fence," and several of the men seem to think that that is sufficient. The men must realize that, after having won a game from Harvard on her own grounds, there will be no excuse for not winning the second game, which is to be played here. They must also understand that they will probably not have as strong a nine as they had last Wednesday, and also that the Harvard nine are working with redoubled efforts. In face of these facts it is difficult to see how the men can be so careless about their work, as they certainly have been since their return from Cambridge. The Harvard freshmen cannot play on the 11th of June, and this date has been cancelled. Another date for the second game has not yet been decided upon, but it may be that this is the last week the men will have in which to practice, and good work must be done, as there will be no excuse for them if they fail to win the second game with Harvard. - Yale News.
