...Downer hit by ball...
Fifth Inning. - Ripley led off with a two-base hit, took third on Tyng's miss of Downer's third strike, and scored on a wild pitch. Downer was hit by a ball from Walden while running to second, and declared out; Walden was caught by Latham to Thayer; Brown hit hard to Holden, who jumped for the ball, but made an excusable error; stole second, and scored on a wild throw by Tyng. Harvard scored four runs on base-hits by Howe and Nunn, a sacrifice by Tyng, and errors by Brown, Walden, and Hutchison...

At the northern end space has been set apart, 83 by 30 feet, for ball practice, and coal-bins, store-rooms, water-closets, and a boiler-room fill the rest of the basement. A large bow-window projects from the western side of the gymnasium, and is designated as the "Armory." It is to be hoped that the Pea-body rifles of the H. R. C. will be safe in this armory from the raids...
