When all played so well, with so much vim and steadiness, it is perhaps unnecessary to speak of individual accomplishment. But yet too much praise cannot be given to the excellent playing of our pitcher and catcher, the backbone of the Nine. Tyng's batting was something immense; his old reliable black-walnut bat knocking Carter's "effectiveness" into thin air. Ernst pitched in a way that none of those Yale fellows could find out, and he, too, did good work at the bat. The bases were splendidly played, their guardians never failing to do their duty, however difficult. Latham...
...ambitiously trying to steal third. Carter got first on a pardonable error of Thayer's, but his good fortune availed him nothing as the next strikers retired on good catches by Dow. The special features of the seventh inning were a pretty foul tip catch off Leeds's bat, and a good fly taken by Sawyer...
...Nine, following the excellent example set them in the morning by the Crew, defeated Yale in the third game of the series, and placed Harvard the champion at the bat as well as at the oar. The Nine deserve our thanks for the pleasure and satisfaction which each student feels in the remarkable victories which have fallen to Harvard's lot this year. The Nine owe as much to their Captain, Mr. Thayer, as the Crew owe to Mr. Bancroft, and we are glad that both these gentlemen have won the victories which their pains have so justly deserved...
...large number who assembled on Wednesday to see the game between Amherst and our Nine found the game much too one-sided to make it especially interesting or intensely exciting. Still the fine fielding of our Nine and their especially heavy batting made the game at times very lively. Tyng and Leeds excelled both at the bat and in the field. The following score reveals the details...
...defeat, it was a rout, which can only be wiped out by a corresponding victory next time. But what were the causes of this Waterloo? Dieu sait. For the numberless fielding errors only bad playing, hard luck, and general demoralization and discouragement can account for them. As to the batting - or rather the absence of batting - we must hold Carter largely responsible for the result. Not a base hit was made, - a record which Harvard has never before made, and let us hope that this will be the last she will have to mourn and Yale to rejoice over...
