...Freshman baseball team won its first game of the season with Noble's School, yesterday afternoon by the score of 8 to 4. Although the opposing pitcher was not at all difficult, the hitting of the Freshmen showed a decided improvement over the form shown in practice. The best playing for the Freshmen was done by Jordan, who made a hit every time he was at bat, and accepted 16 chances without an error. Hall, Aronson, and Delano also showed up strongly, both at the bat and in the field...
Bates apparently has a faster team than last year, when Harvard shut them out, 4 to 0, in a slow game with Greene in the box. They have victories over Tufts, Andover and Exeter to their credit, and have hit the ball hard in all their games.

Harvey, c.f. c.f., Bridges McCall, 2b. l.f., Rogers Dexter, l.f. r.f., Wight Simons, s.s. 1b., Bowman Pounds, r.f. c., Boothby Waters, 1b. s.s., Cobb Pritchett, 3b. 2b., Cole Currier...

Dana went out, Davis to Waters...
Both the women's parts were unusually well done. A. B. Kuttner '08 as Dorothea, an amorous and coquettish lady of 35 or 40 years, makes an individual and rather pleasing person out of this stock figure, and with Bastelmeier makes a distinct hit in one of the most difficult scenes of the play. As Franziska, Dorothea's neice, T. W. Knauth 07 makes a charming ingenue, and is more than ordinarily successful in creating an illusion of womanliness...
Princeton started the second half by again forcing the play. The first score for Princeton was made just after a face-off near the Harvard goal, when, on a pass by Brush the puck hit Foster's stick and glanced into...
