...passed ball by Madigan. Our Nine fielded very well, notwithstanding the slippery ball. Hodges and Kent played without errors. In the first inning Hooper disposed of the King Philips with only four balls pitched. White caught very well; Tyler played his base well; and Cutler made a beautiful catch in left field, which certainly atoned for his previous muff...
...methods. The old style of preaching which our Puritan forefathers introduced with stiff orthodox sentences and much Latinity would not be received at the present day. It is necessary, as President Jefferson once said, "to cherish the spirit of our people and keep alive their attention." Our teachers must catch this spirit, to be able to infuse new life into their public instruction. They must not talk down to the people; they must elevate the masses by clear logical earnestness; must sustain life by imparting life, and this not with narrow sectarianism, but with large views of the whole duty...

The playing during the latter half of the game was very pretty. Annan made a fine left-hand catch, and Kent a difficult fly while running with the ball.

Annan, as short-stop, beside his general good play, made the prettiest hit of the game, a beautiful two-baser.

...force throwing should be effective among good players. By the side of this blind throwing, Hooper's accurate pitching, requiring judgment and strategy as well as muscle, made a flattering contrast. The fielding of Yale, as we said above, was extremely loose. Wright should be credited with a fine catch in left field, however, and all agreed that Bentley's catching behind the bat was as good as anything in the game. We rather disliked the way Yale broke through the old custom of returning cheers after the match...
