Harvard was beaten 8 to 5 in a seven innings game by Williams at Williamstown Saturday afternoon. The day was stormy and made good playing out of the question, but the condition of the weather does not account for the utterly reckless manner and lack of determination shown by Harvard. The men that constitute the Harvard University nine ought to understand by this time that they are expected to make at least a fair showing.

...junior appointment list was made public on Friday evening, and showed that the class of '90 had beaten the record made by '84, for the present junior class had 104 men on the list. Of these, 60 are eligible to write for the junior exhibition prize-an opportunity that few will neglect...
