...last year's Williams team, McCarty will catch; Doughty will play left field. Nesbitt, third base; and Waston, first base. Although but little practice has been possible, the five vacancies seem to have been filled satisfactorily. In 1901, Williams has played but two important games this season, having been defeated by Yale, 9 to 2, and by Priceton...
...base on balls, stole second, and reached the plate on Rider's error, and Matthews's hit. Hits by Clarkson, Skilton and Coburn together with two more errors by Exeter gave Harvard, four more runs in the sixth, when the game was called to allow the team to catch the train for Boston...

The coaching aimed principally at lengthening out the stroke and getting a firm catch. The only long row was taken on Thursday when the two crews went over the three and a half mile course, from the Weld boathouse to the Union Boat Club. The orders of the two eights, as they rowed on Thursday, follow...

Although the winning crews won by about three lengths, their lead was gained only after a very hard struggle in which the stronger drive and snappier catch of the Weld crews eventually brought victory.

The Weld Juniors are very erratic, their work varying greatly from day to day, and their rowing being at best unsteady. This is due to the fact that they do not come up on their stretchers properly and that their blade work is poor...
