...Freshman nine lost to Groton on Saturday, in a carelessly played game, by eight runs to seven. The defeat was the natural consequence of the carelessness and lack of snap which has characterized the team's practice for some time. The basemen depend too much on Clarkson's pitching to win the game for them, with the result that they carelessly miss easy chances when the ball is hit. On Saturday Clarkson was the only man on the nine who played a careful, snappy game. He struck out twelve men, and led the team at the bat, making three hits...
...Freshman nine was defeated in a well played game yesterday afternoon by the Cambridge High and Latin School, by a score of 4 to 0. The chief cause of the defeat was poor batting by the entire team; but one hit was made, and the ball was seldom knocked out of the infield. Coonley, who pitched, has had little practice, but did fairly well and with good support would probably have won his game. Neither Bartlett nor Marean caught satisfactorily, both throwing poorly and dropping many pitched balls. Foster, at first base, was also weak in fielding and at times...
...second hockey game with Brown will be played on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Since the defeat by Harvard last week, the Brown team has been strengthened in many directions and a close game is expected. The line-up will be as follows: Harvard--Laverack, Goodridge, Hoxie, Beardsell, forwards; Hardy, coverpoint; Vanderpool, point; Russell, goal. Brown -- Cooke, Pevear, Bartlett, Phillips, forwards; Low, coverpoint; Steere, point; Chase, goal...
...Never has the ideal college sport, as the outcome and fruition of play at home, been so fully realized. Never has a college been more loyal to its teams in adversity. Never has a team physically weaker more distinguished itself than in tieing Harvard, and never has heart-breaking defeat like that inflicted by Princeton been endured with more silent dignity...
...University hockey team was defeated by the Law School team yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field by the score of 4 to 3. The team work and playing of the University team were much better than usual, and the fact that the Law School team is an aggregation of some of the best former intercollegiate players made it an excusable defeat. In the game with Brown at Providence next Saturday it is probable that the same team will represent Harvard. The line-up of the two teams was as follows: University --laverack, Beardsell, F. J. Goodridge, Hoxie, forwards; Hardy, cover-point...
