...running is slow. Smith, second baseman, is a hard hitter, but pulls away from the ball. He is fairly steady in his position, but is inclined to throw inaccurately. Wendell, catcher, has only been playing with the team little more than a week. He replaces Lovering, who split his finger in the game with Milton Academy, and, owing partly to lack of practice, is weak in catching and in throwing to bases, although he bats well. Lincols, pitcher, is a fairly strong hitter and covers his position satisfactorily. He has a tendency to pitch too fast and, as a result...
...chief weakness of the Freshman team is its weak hitting and careless base-running. A steady improvement has been shown in fielding, although it is still somewhat erratic. The team will be severely crippled by the loss of Lovering, the catcher, who had a finger split open in the game with Milton Academy last Wednesday. Last Saturday afternoon the Yale freshmen defeated the Princeton freshmen in a 10-inning game by the score of 8 to 7. The Brown freshmen, who defeated the Freshmen last Monday by the score of 7 to 4 have been defeated by the Yale freshmen...
...score of 10 to 3. The Harvard team won through timeloy hitting and the errors of its opponents. Noonan, for Holy Cross, and Greene, for Harvard, pitched well, but both were poorly supported.

...progress of the University crews has been somewhat impeded of late by the sickness of three members of the squad. Filley and Lawson have had the grip, and Dillingham has been unable to row on account of a felon on his finger. All three of the men are now better, however, and will be on the river again by the last of the week. The changes necessitated by their absence have had a tendency to make the boat unsteady; but this fault was more or less over come in yesterday's long row. All three crews went over the four...
Yesterday each of the University crew combinations rowed two long stretches to the Watertown Bridge and back, while Mr. Colson coached from the launch. The orders were slightly changed owing to absences. Dillingham did not row on account of an injured finger, Judd taking his place at bow in the crew stroked by Brownell; and Sanger rowing at 6 in place of Filley...
