...substitutes muffed Sullivan badly before he had made a single run, or the Mayflowers would have scored less than they did. Two muffs, also, were made by a veteran, usually the surest catch on the Eleven. Tapper and Harris, however, made good catches, and Lee as wicket keep and Bruce as long stop were very efficient. In their second innings, although the "crease" had been rolled, much to the benefit of their adversary's bowling, our Eleven scored 36. They thus just avoided a defeat by an inning, and were beaten instead by ten crickets. In this inning Jones...
...wants; and such students, after the first year of elective work, in which they will naturally take Math. 1 and 2 (or 1 alone, with other scientific electives), should consult their professors as to the precise direction of their choice. Those, on the other hand, who merely wish to keep up a moderate amount of Mathematics in order to give variety to literary studies can make a profitable election among courses 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, in which the presence of such students is distinctly recognized. If they become really interested in their mathematical work, they...
Math. 3 is intended, in the first place, for students who wish to keep up a year of elective Mathematics, but prefer to confine themselves to the applications of the elementary branches. This course is also especially useful to students of Astronomy, and may advantageously be taken by mathematical students in addition to some of the more theoretical courses. General students will do well to take 1, 2, and 3, or two of them, in successive years...
...early, at this time, to attempt any prophecy of the result on the 29th. The difference in the number of strokes per minute in the several crews is marked. Holyoke ordinarily pulls the fastest, very often reaching to 36, while Weld and Holworthy keep down to 30 or less, very rarely above. As the desired end of every crew is to pull together, the slower the stroke - to a certain point, say 28 or 30 per minute - by which this object is attained, the better; and in this we are supported by the best authority. However, it rests with each...
