...first match, between J. B. Read '95 and R. C. Thomas '96, was very well-played and interesting for a time. Thomas started in with a rush and won the first set, 6-4; he lost the second set after a close contest and in the last set went to pieces, while Read won, 6-0. Read was cool and steady, and played a good all-round game. Thomas played a good net game, but was rather wild...
HANOVER, N. H., May 15. - Dartmouth's first championship game resulted disastrously for them today, the score being 14 to 2 in favor of Williams. Lewis won the contest for the visitors by his excellent work in the box, which seemed to have a peculiarly discouraging effect on the home team. Although Dartmouth has been especially stong at the bat this season they were utterly unable to do anything with his deceptive out curves, and 11 men struck out while only four hits were made. Dartmouth's only runs were secured in the ninth...
HANOVER, N. H., May 13. - Dartmouth defeated Brown in the decisive game of the series today, by the score of 7 to 5. In the two games played in Providence the scores were 3 to 2 in favor of Dartmouth and 5 to 3 for Brown. The contest today was very sharp and clean and full of interest from beginning to end, Brown being retired in the ninth with two men on bases. Folsom's brilliant stop of a hot grounder and Captain Abbott's batting were noteworthy features...
...freshmen won additional glory this afternoon by their defeat of the sophomores in the inter-class contest for the baseball championship. Both classes vied in their endeavors to outdo the noisy demonstrations made by '95 and '96 in their game last week. Brass bands, drum corps complete even to the drum-majors, and cannon fire-crackers, sirens, horns, whistles and even shot guns were brought into requisition to create noise and express class feeling. The sophomores had the better organization, but were unable to "fuss" the freshmen who beat them by a big score. Next week will decide the class...
...oratorical contest between the Harvard and Yale prohibition clubs took place Saturday evening in Unity Hall, Hartford, Conn. Mr. Allen B. Lincoln, Yale '81, presided, and appropriate music was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Beveridge of Nebraska. The judges gave their decision in favor of the Yale club. While the judges were conferring Mr. E. C. Snyder, secretary and organizer of the National Intercollegiate Prohibition Association, explained to the audience something of the workings and significance of the intercollegiate prohibition movement, which has now spread to include thirteen or fourteen different state associations and over a hundred colleges...
