...fall G. C. Guild '23 was best known for his booming forehand drive. He has ably demonstrated, however, that he is not a one-shot player and that he can mix to advantage both steadiness and speed. He has an unusually quick eye which facilitates the execution of his hard-hit forehand drives...
...game yesterday was the quickest of the year. Both pitchers were very effective, and the fielding of both teams was generally sharp and quick. Harvard's one error was made by Hovey, who fumbled a hard-hit ball which he had run forward to meet. Bates pitched in his best form, striking out ten men, and allowing his opponents but three hits, two of them scratches. Their one clean hit was a single to Hallowell in the eighth. No bases on balls were given them, and only four of them reached first. Two of these were left, one on first...
...game yesterday was uninteresting. Harvard's batting was better than on Tuesday and the nine played its customary excellent fielding game. LeMoyne's catch of a hard-hit ball from Bowen's bat, which looked good for a two base-hit, was the notable feature of the game. Smith distinguished himself at the bat.

He fielded his position for all it was worth, and made several beautiful stops of hard-hit balls. The play of the freshmen members of the nine was noteworthy. Smith played an exceptionally good game on first, but his base-running was hardly up to the mark. Allen played a steady game behind the bat and made a very pretty catch of a foul tip from Richardson...
...mentioning. The right field is a steep hill, centre field is occupied by a church, nor is the left field as large as it ought to be. According to the ground rules, any ball striking a building outside the grounds is only allowed to count for two bases. A hard-hit ball to right field will strike the hill and then roll down into the first baseman's hands. Every one who saw our last game with Brown last year, recollects how indignant he felt when a hit ordinarily worth about two bases rolled under the fence into...
