That veteran tennis player, Dr. James Dwight, contributes a brief article on "Lawn Tennis in New England" in which all college tennis players will take a lively interest. Dr. Dwight describes the first game of tennis played in New England (in 1875 at Nahant), when the enthusiasm of Dr. Dwight and his opponent for the game was so great that rainy afternoons they would play in rubber boots and coats rather than lose a day, and thence traces the history of the game up to the present year...
...freshmen played the second and what proved to be the deciding game in their series yesterday afternoon on Jarvis Field. The game was long and dull and poorly played by both sides. Each class had a band, while firecrackers and cheering enlivened the afternoon and gave vent to the enthusiasm. Dickinson played first in his usual good style and made a pretty home run in the eighth inning. The lack of two umpires was very much felt.

Dickinson sacrificed and Hallowell made a hit which brought in Upton and Howe, amid great enthusiasm. Hovey sacrificed, and Hallowell, who had reached second on the attempt to cut off Howe at the plate, took third. Trafford had three balls and two strikes, and the excitement was high. The next ball came over the plate but he failed to hit it, and the game was over...
