...last performance of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals was given Saturday evening in Union Hall, Boston. Every seat in the house was filled and many people were standing in the aisles. New "gags" and imitations were given and the whole performance was a great success...
...with great difficulty that Harvard succeeded in defeating Williams last Saturday by the close score of 5 to 4. Williams has a very strong nine this year and Harvard appeared weak at the bat. This is not surprising considering the quality of the nines that have played against Harvard so far this year, but the batting must improve in order to win against Yale and Princeton.

Harvard was far superior to her opponents in team play, and the passing by the attack men was specially good at times. However, there is a great tendency on the part of the men to crowd in towards the goal. This draws in the opponent's defense and hinders the "try at goal." On the whole the play was sharp and at times even brilliant. Wells and Griffing distinguished themselves in the defence. The playing of Towle...
