Harvard had no difficulty in defeating Andover in a seven-inning game on Saturday. The cold, raw wind hampered the players considerably, and in consequence there were several excusable errors. But on the whole, as far as Harvard was concerned, the game was well played and lively. The best work was done by Captain Whittemore, Scannell and Garrison. Whittemore at short covered much ground and made several beautiful stops. Scannell supported the rather variable pitching of Paine and Highlands in good form, and did great work at the bat, having four hits, with a total of six, to his credit...
...students' mail. Had he asked this as a matter of convenience to the Post Office alone, he would doubtless have asked in vain; but it is not unnatural to expect that the students will pay more heed to a request which is evidently made in their own interests.

It seemed impossible that he could reach it but he just caught it before it touched the ground though he fell in the attempt...

Case sent out a long fly to Wiggin which brought Rustin home. Carter was out on a fly to left field. Harvard did little. Whittemore got to first on balls, stole second and got third on a passed ball. Cook sent up a fly to Stephenson and Dickinson struck out. Paine struck at two balls and then Whittemore, thinking the umpire had called the third...
