The college looks forward to another championship victory in the game against Brown this afternoon. This expectation is but natural, in view of the score made in the two previous games against this college, and when it is remembered that the Dartmouth nine, which was so easily defeated by our team, found no difficulty in winning the game at Hanover yesterday. Yet, in spite of the strong probabilities of success, all over confidence must be suppressed, for, of all games, base-ball is one the most uncertain, as has been shown only too often by the unexpected victories of a weak team over one reputed to be of much greater strength. No better example of this could be asked than the result of the Brown game at Providence last year, when we lost not only the game but the championship. The narrow escape from defeat which Yale had at Amherst is another and recent warning to the nine to play every game as sharply and well as its capabilities admit.
