...There is only one way of telling whether a crew is fast, and that is by timing it over a measured course on still water. If, for example, the points were now properly marked, the coach could send the University crew in its changed order over the long course and decide whether the eight as now made up is faster than it was before the Cornell race. As things are now, we merely guess, and do not always guess correctly. No one knows whether the course most commonly used is a mile and seven-eighths long or not. We guess...
...Dartmouth did not get a man to third until the ninth. Then Mitchell, the first man up, sent a liner to Minot, who dropped it, the runner reaching second. After Hoban had been put out, Hicks to McLaughlin, Chadbourne's hit was again forthcoming. This time it was a fast grounder through the box which allowed Mitchell to score from second. Chadbourne reached second, but Conroy fanned, and Eaton sent a fly to Rogers. Harvard was out in order in the second half of the inning...
...third inning Rogers beat out a grounder to the shortstop, and McLaughlin followed with a long drive between centre and right which looked like a sure hit. Hoban got it by fast running, and Rogers, who had gone to third on the play, was easily doubled at first. Hicks was out on a grounder, and Harvard went out in order in the fourth inning. Mitchell had just reached first on Marshall's error in the fifth inning when the game was stopped by rain...
...pitching. Thompson hit past first base, Minot failing to try for an out at first, though the play seemed possible. Watson flied out to Rogers, but Judson, batting for Carvahar, was passed, putting Thompson on second, and after Howard had flied out, Thompson scored from second by exceptionally fast running on Owen's infield hit to Lanigan, the throw from third to first and from first to the home plate being a bit slow. Judson reached third on this play but Matchneer sent a grounder to Marshall for a third...
Cornell started the season poorly and was beaten several times on its southern trip and in the early games at Ithaca. Of late the team has been playing very fast ball, shutting out the strong Pennsylvania nine on May 21 by a score of 6 to 0. Amherst was beaten 6 to 3 in 13 innings, and Dartmouth 3 to 1, though earlier in the season Cornell was beaten by Dartmouth...
