...Field, in which Messrs. Thayer, Ernst, and a few others met a Nine from Brown; these latter being favored - for that occasion only, we trust - with the kind services of Messrs. Tyng and Thatcher. The odds against the Harvard men were, naturally, enormous; and the game terminated in our defeat by a score of eight to seven. The second innings was marked by a fine double play by Ernst, and in the following innings a splendid hit by Thayer gave three runs. In the fifth, a double out was made by Ernst, who obstinately insisted on catching a fly regardless...
...crew which went to England, made some well-timed remarks which we hope will have the effect they deserve. He insists that the crew is not got together early enough in the autumn, and that during the last four or five years - since we count our annual defeat - the discipline of the men has been not as severe as in the days when we carried off the flags on Lake Quinsigamond. Mr. Watson of '69 agreed with Mr. Loring that the discipline had become lax, and that we put off the formation of the crew until too late, and added...
...before the ball could be returned home Kent and Ernst had both scored. The Harvards batted the Princeton pitcher much better than in the first game, and played an almost perfect fielding game. The Princetons were naturally nervous from their loss of sleep the night before and from their defeat at New Haven. Notwithstanding this, they played pluckily, and could have done much better, as the game of the next day shows. For the Harvards, all praise is due Hooper - who pitched with a strained arm - for the plucky way in which he finished the game in his regular position...
...Eleven. Tapper and Harris, however, made good catches, and Lee as wicket keep and Bruce as long stop were very efficient. In their second innings, although the "crease" had been rolled, much to the benefit of their adversary's bowling, our Eleven scored 36. They thus just avoided a defeat by an inning, and were beaten instead by ten crickets. In this inning Jones and Lee batted well for their scores. Save their bowling, which was accurate and effective, the play of the Mayflowers was poor, and even the portion of our Eleven present should have beaten them...
...allow an opportunity to slip of applauding any good plays we made, and of silencing any attempt on the part of those not connected with the college from cheering our errors. Their politeness in showing us their beautiful buildings and grounds, and their good-natured manner of taking their defeat, only served to promote the good feeling between Princeton and Harvard, and we take this occasion of offering, through these columns, our most hearty thanks to them for all their kindness. Let us all show them, at the time of their visit here, that Harvard cannot only appreciate kind treatment...
