...cricket eleven was defeated on Saturday at Lowell by the Lowell club. Captain Brown, winning the toss, decided to bat first. Garrett and Sullivan started out well, but the latter, after driving finely for four, was caught on an easy one from Comber. Then the wickets fell rather fast. Brown, who had gone in at the fall of the third wicket, was left not out by side when he was splendidly set. The venture realized only 31. To this small total Lowell responded with 67, of which total Burns and Gibson were credited with 20 and 10 respectively. The bowling...

The tackling of the whole team was as bad as possible; scarcely a low tackle was made by the Harvard team yesterday. Hardly a man used his head at all in the game. This blind kind of playing was especially noticeable...
...class cry were evenly divided, the sophomores resolved to put matters to a final test by a rush. In the meantime the freshmen had collected in force and not only drove the sophomores back but carried on decidedly vigorous offensive tactics. The sophomores, surprised by this burst of energy, fell back and reformed their line. Another rush then took place, but it was so dark that when the opposing forces became mixed it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe.
