The victory of the nine over Princeton on Saturday is hardly a subject for congratulation. Princeton outbatted and, except in one inning, outfielded Harvard. It was only by sheer good fortune that Harvard managed to score the needed four runs. There is no doubt that the timely cheering at the beginning of the seventh inning won the game.
By winning Saturday Harvard is still in the race for the championship. The nine have shown that they can play a good fielding game and if they can only learn to bat between now and Saturday there is no reason why they should not win. The efficacy of cheering as proved last Saturday, should be borne in mind, and all fair encouragement should be given to the nine. If the nine will do good work they may be assured of the heartiest support.
