...most part, fast and accurate. In batting, there were some cases of individual improvement, but as a whole, the team did not bunch their hits to advantage. The most evident and universal weakness, however was the bunting, which was at no time satisfactory. Poor base-running was another conspicuous fault in the work of the team, and was the most important factor in the defeat by West Point...
...work in the performance. The best handling of a part, however, is that of R. Wellman '03, who impersonates John Class, the antiquarian. The part is the most difficult in the play and it is rendered with a cleverness which is enhanced by a distinct enunciation. If one especial fault is to be found with the other principals, it is an inattention to the matter of enunciation...
...outcome of the race between the Sophomore crews this afternoon is rather doubtful; a slight advantage probably rests with the Weld crew, which has been together longer than its opponent. The chief fault to be found with the Weld crew is that it fails to get a powerful and finished stroke. J. H. Perkins '98 has been coaching them. The Newell Sophomores have been coached by H.

...work of the Senior crews have so far been rather lifeless. The Weld crew is, perhaps, a trifle the faster and rows better together. The Weld Juniors have the common fault of not finishing the stroke well and are also slow at the catch. The Newell Juniors have a tendency to rush their slides and also hang at the catch. Irregularity in attendance has been harmful to the Weld Sophomores. They nevertheless row well together, but fail to get a powerful and finished stroke. The Newell Sophomores are making a fair showing, but have most of the faults noticeable...
