...victory won by the freshman nine on Saturday was very creditable both to the class and to the college. The playing of the home nine was, except in a few instances, much better than that of the visitors who were unable to hit the ball at critical moments, and who showed a decided tendency to go to pieces. The greatest praise is due to the Ninety-one battery, whose effectiveness really won the game. The freshmen nine has one or two weak men whose places should be filled before the game next Saturday. With these changes and with the same...
...Lacrosse management have offered a set of twelve cups to be played for by class teams. All the teams have signflied their intention of playing except the seniors, who have no organized team. The three under class teams are very evenly matched, so exciting contests may be expected. The games will begin the week after the class baseball games finish. The following is the schedule...
...account of the threatening weather, there were but few spectators at the game between the Amherst and Harvard freshmen, on Holmes Field, Saturday afternoon. Except toward the very last, the game was dull. It was marked by the wildest batting and worse base-running of the home team and the bungling work of the Amherst third baseman and left fielder. The pitcher, catcher and second baseman played the best fielding game for Amherst. For Harvard, Dean's work at second was excellent. The batting of the nine as a whole was terribly weak, seventeen men striking...
...change must take place in the way they play ball. In the first place, they must remember that there is one captain, not nine, in the Freshman team; he is doubtless capable of giving necessary orders. The rest of the men must learn to control their tongues. Their office, except when coaching, is to play ball, not to talk. In the next place, there must be an improvement in the batting. The nine cannot hope to make a decent showing against Yale if man after man strikes out. In the third place, the men must use some judgment in running...
...holidays. The CRIMSON, in a very outspoken article, calls this a monstrous proposition, of which the practical result will be the abolition of the contests sought to be regulated. And, indeed, it is self-evident that, in taking Harvard out of the league, defeat is invited in any encounter (except boating) with Yale, for want of the same discipline against first-rate antagonists; and regular defeat means discouragement and disgust for the loser. Nor, we suppose, is it certain that, under the new conditions, Yale would condescend to play with Harvard at all, while to be shut...
