...game began with just such an exhibition. It was an accident, of course, but just one such accident against a team of anywhere near equal strength would probably mean the loss of the game. Harvard had the ball, and the whole team was bunched well forward to force it ahead; Burgess put it in play, and passed it to Lake. The latter dropped the ball, and before he could recover it, Crocker, who had broken through a weak spot in the line somewhere, picked it up, and with a perfectly clean field before him had no difficulty in scoring...
Harvard men will have a chance this evening to show in a more acceptable way some of the enthusiasm which the celebration of last week has proved to exist. For many years there has been no event in athletics equal in importance to that which we take pleasure in announcing this morning. The gift of Mr. Higginson is unsurpassed alike in generosity and in the direct benefit it will bestow upon athletics. Through his munificence the problem of accommodation for athletic sports has been satisfactorily solved. Harvard is to have a magnificent field, as large as all the grounds...
...fifth annual championship games of the association take place on Holmes Field this afternoon for the cup presented last year by Harvard undergraduates. There are at present eight schools in the association. of which each has a nearly equal chance for the cup.

There are in all 174 entries made by ninety-three individuals. In the 100 yards dash the best men are Sherwin...
Amherst outbatted Harvard, but her men made errors at critical points and ran bases poorly; in other respects their playing was just about equal to Harvard's. Harvard's batting was very weak, but the men waited with good judgement and got a great many bases on balls. In the field Howland and Linn made good catches, and Upton threw well to bases. The whole team played a clean fielding game. Cummings started in to pitch for Harvard, but he was not well, and gave way after the third inning to Downer. Both he and Cummings were a trifle wild...
...somewhat sceptical of the typewriter, and had my doubts as to its ability to do the work claimed for it. After three months use I can say it has come ahead of all my expectations, and I find it to be just as represented. It does work equal to any other make, regardless of price, and I am entirely satisfied with it. Can heartily recommend the World to students and for all kinds of literary and commercial work...
