...tickets are for good seats or poor ones. This is a very good way of avoiding the necessity of using the system of standing in line. As matters now stand, every senior who has applied for Tree tickets is supplied with a package; some men have had the luck to draw good seats, others have been disappointed in drawing very poor seats. But as not all the seats have been drawn for there probably remain some which are better than those drawn by the men who have had the hardest luck. Now that the first rush of the seniors...
...runs came rather slow until Stokes and Roberts got together and made 19 and 17 respectively out of a total of 78. Muir, with 13, was the only other player to score double figures. In Harvard's inning Garrett was stupidly run out, and Kaulbach had the same luck with the total at 6. S. Skinner and Dinsmore made a plucky stand for 14 apiece, but the side went out for 51. When the second inning began all of the 500 people present, with the exception of the Harvard team, had given the game to Haverford, for it seemed impossible...
Ninety-four failed to do anything in the next three innings at the bat. In the field they had even worse luck. Three successive base hits in the eighth by Wadsworth, Gilmore and Whiting brought in two earned runs. Walker was then given his base on balls.

Walker and Phelan then succeeded in reaching home, aided by steals and errors...
...eleven played in very hard luck on Saturday and was beaten for the first time by 56 runs. Garrett, who made 54 out against Lowell last year, was stupidly run out when he had made only 2; and Kaulbach and S. Skinner were both disabled. Garrett showed up in fine form, and bowled strongly and right on the wicket throughout the innings, taking 6 wickets for 44 runs, and losing one through bad fielding...
...Fearing, '93, G. C. Chaney, '94, and E. B. Bloss, '94. The bar was placed at 4 ft. 8 in. No one met any serious difficulty until 5 ft. 6 1-2 in. was reached. Here Morse, B. A. A., jumped poorly, and dropped out. Bloss had no better luck, and at 5 ft. 8 in., Sherwin and Chaney, were forced to retire to the settee and become spectators. Green succeeded in clearing 5 ft. 9 1-2 in., but failed at the next height. To overcome Green's 2 in. handicap, the bar was placed...
