About this will be a handsome scroll-work design, with the statement of the game, date and place, and a reminder that this is the Class Day game, in the form of a circle of scroll work, within which are the words "Yale, '92." On the back page will be the statistics of the games which Harvard has played this season, make which a very remarkable record - 33 games, with 356 runs for Harvard, to 4 games with 90 runs for her opponents.
