PRINCETON AGAIN

Today the University baseball team plays one of the most important games of its schedule at Princeton. No game has been won from the Princeton team on its home grounds for twelve years, and it is well known that precedent plays an important part in deciding athletic contests. But last Saturday what was becoming a precedent was broken at Cambridge, and a new one established which will serve to encourage the University team today. Although defeat was met at Brown in the middle of the week, we still have every confidence in the Harvard nine's ability to play good baseball. Not an error was made in the first game with Princeton, and although the batting was light, hits were made at the most timely moments. It has been said of that game that Harvard won only because Princeton made mis-plays; but as Coach Pieper said at the recent mass meeting, it speaks well for a team if it is able to make the most of its opponents' errors.

We all understand the handicap which the University team must meet when playing Princeton on her own diamond, and we do not venture to predict that the score will be as satisfactory as last Saturday's. But we believe that if the University nine plays the game as it did on that day, the only possible result will be a victory for Harvard.
