...witness the game. Only about six Harvard men accompanied the team from Cambridge, and the work of the nine was a disappointment. The men played under rather poor luck to be sure, but many of their errors were inexcusable, The infielders seemed bothered considerably, especially on sharp ground hits, by the dirt diamond.

The Banjo club made a hit everywhere and seldom played a piece without being recalled. The reportoire of the clubs contained very little classical music, old college melodies and comic airs mainly composing the progarmmes. The following pieces, played and sung, by the clubs, illustrate the style of music which they adopted. "Old Nassan," "Daylight...
