...score being 70 to 73 in their favor. Ellis's bowling was sadly missed. There were four or five new men most of whom had played little or no cricket in the eleven that did duty for the college yesterday.

...freshman nine played a match game with Tech. '91 last Saturday afternoon, and were defeated by a score of 13 to 10. The grounds were in wretched condition and there was a strong wind blowing in toward home plate which prevented heavy batting.
