...game was to be close and full of excitement. The former relied on Young's pitching and the team's base running to win the game. Harvard relied on their batting and Highland's pitching to give them the victory. As it turned out, Young was apparently no more difficult to hit than any of the pitchers whom Harvard has faced this year, while Highlands fully met the expectation of the Harvard supporters. He was rather wild once or twice, and gave four men bases on balls, besides making a bad throw to Dickinson. However, he kept perfectly cool under...

...very favorably with McNear's. Moore was certainly entitled to first place. His giant swings, forward and back, ending with fly aways, were the features of the event and were executed with skill and grace. At the close of the contest, Bardeen, McNear and Macallister '93 gave a very difficult combination...
