...marks fall off proportionately. The exception is in the case of the E's, which show a sudden increase in the Senior year. This is due probably to men's attempting in their last year to take more courses than they really have time for, and being obliged to drop them near the end of the term. In those courses in which they continue their work, it is of far superior quality to that done in the Freshman year. This shows that the serious purposes of college life are brought more and more clearly into view toward...
...Harvard nine played only fairly well. The men were poorly coached in the field. Soule was called to take a fly which was in Evans' territory, and Stetson and Soule were both coached for a fly back of third base which was allowed to drop between them and Codman. Trafford played his first regular game at 1st base and did well, although he made a bad mistake in leaving his base uncovered to take a slow grounder which was Luce's. He batted finely, however...
...great deal of skill, and the records of all were very creditable. Morse came from the B. A. A., and Fearing '93, and Green '92, represented Harvard. The Yale men did not turn up. The bar was started at 4 feet 61/2 inches. Green was the first to drop out. Fearing failed at 5 ft., 101/2 inches, after a pretty contest with Morse.

At the next raise Ryder and Ewing both failed at first and finally secceeded in getting over the bar. All the men but Curry failed at first when the bar was put at 9 feet, 4 in. Crane dropped out at this height...
...part of the freshman team, and Wright, '92, entered for an exhibition pull against Ninety-one. Robb (anchor) Bisbee, Johnson, and Wright pulled against the regular junior team, Higgins (anchor), Bass, Nichols and De Normandie. Ninety-one had the south end. There was some difficulty at the first drop and it had to be started again. At the drop the teams were tied. Ninety-three gained little by little until at the end of the first minutes they had three-quarters of an inch. They lost on a heave by Ninety-one, but regained, and at four minutes...
