Harvard's first game of the season was played Saturday against Dartmouth. The day was too windy to admit of careful field work. The Harvard nine was composed of Howland, c.; Bates, p.; Campbell, s. s.; Willard, 1b.; Gallivan, 2b.; Quackenboss, 3b.; Henshaw, r. f.; Mumford, c. f.; Knowlton, l. f. Bates pitched a strong game. Harvard won by a score of 7 to 1, mainly by bunching hits at the right moment. There will doubtless be some changes in the nine, though probably not many...
...lower end of the field the 'varsity nine had erected nets, around which were grouped the greater part of the candidates. Captain Henshaw had direction of the one where Luce, '91, was pitching. At this net were Mumford, '90; Bailey, '89; Dean, '91; Butterworth, '90, and Morgan, '89. At the other net, which was under the direction of ex-Captain Williard, were Campbell, L. S.; Quackenboss, M. S., and McKean, '90. Boyden was pitching to this net. In the field were Gallivan, '88; Linn, '90; Mason, '91, and Codman, '90. The ground was not in the best condition, being damp...

Willard, captain of last year's nine, will fill his old position at first base. Second base is doubtful. Mumford, who played that position last year, may do so again this year. Quackenboss, captain of the Dartmouth team last year, is in the Law School, and will probably cover third. He is a good fielder and base runner and a very good batter...
...large number of candidates, Henshaw, Mumford, Linn, Willard, Campbell and Boyden are members of last year's team. Quackenboss and Knowlton will doubtless play. Henshaw, Linn, Willard, Campbell and Boyden were all of them heavy batters last year, and Quackenboss and Knowlton have the reputation of doing good work with the stick. The number of candidates is large and practice regularly every day in the cage at handball and sliding bases; also in battery work. The prospects are not very encouraging. Captain Henshaw will do all in his power to make a winning team out of the material that...
