A game of such length makes extraordinary demands on the pitcher and the catcher, to which our representatives were fully equal. The only feature that we can criticize is the base-running, which is still open to much improvement.

His skill as an athlete needs no comment; it is enough to say that Harvard probably never had his equal in the ball field. Socially, he was one of the best of fellows. Kind, generous, honest, openhearted, he was loved by every one who knew him, and he was, perhaps, the best known man in college. His sudden and unexpected loss will be greatly felt by his many friends and admirers...
