...crew leave for New London under the most favorable auspices. Three championships have already come to Harvard, and the college looks forward to the fourth. We consider our chances on the water about even, albeit Yale has her victorious crew of last year almost intact while Harvard has but three men who have ever rowed in a 'varsity race. It is the hard and conscientious work of the crew and the untiring efforts of its captain which cause us to put so much trust in the result of the race.

...second on Nichols' put-out, but failed to score, as Willard went out on a long fly to Shedd. Brown got a man on first on called balls, but he was neatly caught by Allen while stealing second.

Brown's three batsmen were successively struck...

In the same inning, Smith made a beautiful catch of a hot liner from Safford's bat. In the fifth, wild throws by third base, pitcher, short stop, and first...
...long fly which he captured after a long run from left field. The score would probably have been much closer had not two men of the eighty-six nine been caught napping at first in the ninth inning. Eighty-eight won the game by bunching their hits in the fourth and ninth innings. Following is the score...
