...contest between the College "boys," who occupy, in the depths of the reporter's mind, an indefinite position somewhere between a "mucker" and a Prussian count. Jarvis is not to be filled with the beauty of Cambridge, attracted by the prospects of an exciting struggle; but the wretched field is to see nothing more inspiriting than practice-playing, or, at best, the slaughter of such noble game as the King Philips or the Tufts...
...played, - the Bostons scoring five to the Harvards' six. The Bostons presented their full strength, with the exception of White, who had been expected to arrive that morning, but was believed to have been detained at Hartford. McVey took his place at the home base; Hall going to right field. The Harvards, for the first time this year, presented their regular Nine; Thatcher succeeding Bettens as catcher...
Leeds opened the game with a fly to right field, which was beautifully caught by Hall, with one hand, while running. Hodges then got his base on a safe hit, but was left, as the next two strikers retired in good order. The Bostons scored one run, Barnes getting his first on a base hit and stealing second. In the second innings for the Harvards, Kent opened with a safe fly, Tyng got his first on an error of O'Rourke, Tower and Thatcher made safe hits, and Spinney sent a ball through O'Rourke, letting in Tyng and Tower...

The collision between Tower and Hodges...
...Tyler, captain. The men have been placed as follows: T. S. Bettens, '74, catcher; S. H. Hooper, '75, pitcher; J. F. Kent, '75, first base; A. G. Hodges, '74, second base; J. A. Tyng, '76, third base; H. C. Leeds, '77, short stop; C. T. Tyler, '74, left field. The two remaining fields, it is probable, will be played by W. S. Cutler, '75, and A. C. Tower...
