...batting was equal to the best that the Harvard nine has displayed this year, although the opposing pitcher was rather weak; nine hits were made off Howes during the first seven innings, and one off Caldwell. On the other hand Hicks, with his usual speed and curves, held the Cornell batters well in hand. Four hits, two of them triples, completed the total. Eight men struck out and only one reached first on balls. With the exception of MacLaughlin, whose eyes seemed to trouble him, the fielding of the University team was excellent. Simons made a beautiful one-hand stop...
...line until 6.15 o'clock. Cornell had the course on the east side of the lake with Harvard on the outside. The crews got off at 6.35 o'clock, but as Sargent jumped his slide in the first few strokes, both eights stopped rowing when Blagden raised his hand as a signal of an accident. After this false start, further delay was caused by the drifting of the Cornell stake-boat.

On the other hand the Harvard crew is chiefly composed of members of last year's victorious eight, and the order has remained practically unchanged throughout the season. Combine this advantage in experience with superior weight, and the result should be a victory for Harvard...
...Brown freshmen are not very strong this year, having been defeated by the Yale freshman team, 11 to 2, in six innings, and decisively beaten by Worcester Academy. The Freshmen, on the other hand, have improved materially during the past week, making a very fair showing against Andover last Wednesday, when they were beaten, 4 to 3. The regular team will start the game for the Freshmen...
