...loss of control at times, and he gave six bases on balls, but was effective at critical moments in keeping the Second nine from scoring. Tuckerman pitched well, but allowed four bases on balls. Leonard's timely home run line drive with two men on bases and Nichols's difficult foul catch were features of the game...
...team won the dual shoot with the University of Pennsylvania today by one bird. At the end of the first half, Pennsylvania was three birds in the lead. The score being 175 to 174. A strong wind and a hazy atmosphere due to forest fires made the shooting very difficult. The highest score on either side was made by Dupont, who practically won the match for the University...

Hoguet '04, as Quicksilver, handled intelligently a difficult part, although his acting was superior to his enunciation. The female roles were well done and the minor parts were without exception excellently taken. The tavern scene, in which R. S. Wallace '04 as the sea captain terrifies the tapster by smoking the newly-introduced Virginia tobacco, was especially amusing...
