The failure of the Nine to win the Princeton baseball series is a great disappointment to every one, especially after the winning of last Saturday's game. Under the circumstances, however, it behooves Harvard men simply to take the defeat in silence,- the Nine to work hard to win from Yale and the rest of the undergraduates to give it the same strong support that helped to win last Saturday; for it is no exaggeration to say that Princeton has one of the strongest college teams ever developed, and won the series wholly on its merits.

In spite of yesterday's defeat there is a good deal of encouragement to be got out of the recent work of the Harvard team. After showing up very poorly during the first part of the season the men have demonstrated their ability to play a steady, consistent game. They may feel sure that their work will be anxiously watched by the undergraduates from now on until the Yale games and that they will go into these games with the support of the University behind them.
