...pitchers are: Boyden, L. S.; Manley, '87: Austin, '88; Palmer, '88; Bingham, '89, and Downer, '89. Boyden has been substitute on the nine for two years. He is cool, has good command of the ball, and will never tire out, and would be a valuable man in a protracted game. The other men have all pitched on their class teams, but have had little experience in important games. Captain Willard, '87, and Bisbee, '87 are the only candidates for first base. Willard was captain of his class nine and has played on the University nine for two years...
...yesterday was one of the most pleasant and successful that have ever been held. The afternoon was mild and the air not too cool. Although but little public notice had been given of the run, about twenty-three men started. Messrs. H. H. Bemis, '87, and E. A. Thompson, '87, were the hares.

Bancroft is slow in getting through, and very apt to overrun his man when going down the field. He watches his end well, but plays too little as a part of the team, not following the ball enough. He tackles hard, but painfully high...
Caldwell, the stroke, is a new man, although he has rowed in his class boat, which has won several races. He is rather older than the rest of the crew, and is always cool and collected...
