...much hard luck since the season opened. It has been steadily improving, however, and has made a fair showing in the class games. Its work last Saturday at Amherst was a disappointment to all in the college; that day the men played a listless game during the first part of the contest, and in that time the game was almost hopelessly lost. We sincerely hope and trust that, whatever the outcome of this afternoon's contest may be, it will not be necessary to condemn the players for playing a game like that in the first part of Saturday...
...best which has been played here this year. Harvard played a good up hill game after the second inning, and the tying of the score was due to steady, cool playing. The work of the infield was good with the exception of the short stop who played a rather listless game. The base running was poor, for the simple reason that the base runners did not pay close attention to the coaching Wilkesbarre got a run in the first on a hit, Cumming's fumble in left field, a passed ball and a sacrifice. She got three more runs...
...such good form they may win the championship after all. Their throwing is still weak, and most men do not body-check well; but there was a noticeable improvement in this point. Every man played with a snap and vigor which is in striking contrast to the usual listless work of the team. Amory, Walcott and Everett did especially good work on the defence. Davis played home instead of defence as usual, and made the only goal of the game...
...gratifying disposition to treat our men fairly throughtout. The game from the outset was very onesided: the Yale men played a faultless fielding game, batted cleanly and hard, and were supported most effectively by their pitcher, but three hits being made off his delivery. Our men played a listless game from the first, making frequent errors, and failing utterly to fathom Heyworth's curves. After the game the excited Yale men marched in and took possession of their fence, surveyed by a curious crowd of visitors. This ceremony concluded, they gave a very enjoyable dinner to the Harvard...
German II, the other Sophomore course, is intended as a preparation for those who have use for the language in their college studies. The object of this course is most commendable; but the recitations are conducted in such a dull, listless way that before many weeks have passed, most men become thoroughly sick of it. German III is intended to follow either of the two preparatory courses; but the course is so hard, and so large an amount of work is required in it, that few of those who have had only the training of Freshman and Sophomore years...
