...fifth inning was disastrous to us, for after whitewashing our nine the Live Oaks scored five unearned runs on errors of Leeds, Thatcher, and Tyng. The next two innings added nothing to our score and one to that of our opponents. In the eighth it looked as if we might win. Leeds and Wright led off with base hits, Dow followed with a slow grounder towards third, which the pitcher threw over the first-base man's head, letting in Leeds and Wright and sending Dow to third. Ernst then struck a grounder to the short-stop, who threw...
...wash with cold water; but it really does not strike us in that light. We would warmly, if we could, advise the College to take into its own hands the care of these bath-rooms, especially since they are the only ones we have; the same man might be employed, at a certain sum, to keep the hot water running without intermission during the whole of the College year; and the money that is paid by the students for the use of the baths should go to the College.

...week or two the first scratch-races of the season will take place. These races have always been very interesting, but we think they might be made still more so if they were between scratch club-crews. As they have been heretofore conducted, they have been more like tub than boat races. The rowing has been very poor, and the number of fouls from the beginning to the end have been innumerable. If crews from the clubs only were allowed to enter the race, it strikes us the race would be more exciting. The danger of fouling can be entirely...
