...game, - 7 to 4. Harvard outfielded her opponents, and for six innings outbatted them, so that at one time it looked very much as if the game would be ours. It is much to be regretted that in this game the professionals allowed themselves to act in a manner which, to say the least, was decidedly ungentlemanly. As our Nine will not play with them again this season, we shall not enter into particulars. For our Nine, Leeds batted finely, making two first and three total base hits.

The part of Mephistopheles was admirably acted, and his singing was, on the whole, the best in the burlesque. Faust looked and played well, though his singing was occasionally out of tune. Imogene was surpassingly beautiful and entirely natural...
...crew of this year needs particularly is endurance. If they are to hope for success, they must be as ready for a spurt on the last quarter of the fourth mile as on the first quarter of the first mile. It may be of some advantage to review the manner in which our crews for the last three years have rowed their races, especially the last part of them...
