...throughout, but greatly augmented by an addition of eight runs in one innings. The Yale Nine outbatted us, but in the field had quite a number of errors, though not equalling our number, as the score will show. In the field, Smith, - who took Morgan's place behind the bat on account of the latter's lameness, - Carter, and Downer distinguished themselves, the latter taking a very difficult left-hand catch on first base. For Harvard the playing of Richards, Albert, and Mead was excellent, while Harding surpassed every one at the bat...
...Harvard. There was considerable delay occasioned by trouble in finding an Umpire; Hodges, '74, who had agreed to fill the position, not putting in an appearance. Finally, Mr. Denton, of the Scientific School, was chosen, and consented to act. Game was called at 2.35 with the Harvards at the bat. The first innings closed with a blank for both sides. In the second innings Kent got his first, Thayer went out, when Ernst got a heavy hit to left field which the fielder failed to get in front of, and before the ball could be returned home Kent and Ernst...
...Harvard Eleven went first to the bat, and scored but 30 against the excellent bowling of O'Hair and Pettit. Hubbard led the score with 17, made by first-rate batting. When our Eleven took the field the "crease" was already badly cut up by the first innings' play, and the fine bowling of Jones and Gummere lost much of its value in consequence. One of the substitutes muffed Sullivan badly before he had made a single run, or the Mayflowers would have scored less than they did. Two muffs, also, were made by a veteran, usually the surest catch...
...witnessed by a large crowd of spectators, chiefly Yale students, who seemed, to judge by their applause, much pleased at our errors, Besides one or two noticeable features, there is little to say about the game. Thatcher's play behind the bat was excellent, as was Hooper's pitching. Tyng batted well, and made a beautiful one-hand stop in the ninth innings. For the New Havens, the pitcher had a puzzling way of jerking the first two balls over the heads of both striker and catcher, and then of letting the third one come swiftly towards the striker...
...sought Jarvis. This season, however, physical development has another candidate for our interest and favor in the Athletic Association. Last season this association was only in its promising infancy, but now comes before us as an organization ready to do a manly work in supplementing the physical culture of bat and oar. If the true end of such culture was that which the Greek sought, - the symmetrical and harmonious development of every part of the body - then our Athletic Association is destined, as the ideal of physical culture rises, to lead the van of all our societies devoted...
