...disturbances this year have been discovered by the steward of the hall and his assistants, and it is a relief to know that most of them are new to the University.

He pitched an excellent, steady game holding the visitors down to six hits, and giving only one base on balls. Hovey had most to do on our side, and with the exception of his one error, did it all well, handling several hot liners very prettily. For the visitors Walmsley played a beautiful game at third. His throws across the diamond were marvels of accuracy...
