...Nine were unable to get on to Andrews's pitching for the first four innings, and as Amherst was equally unable to hit Ernst, the result was o to o in four innings. In the fifth inning our men began to bat, and had scored three runs in the sixth, when time was called to enable the Amherst men to attend a class supper...
Ninth Inning. - Smith hit safe, and scored on Tyng's wild throw to second and Howe's fumble. Harvard went to the bat to face Carter for the last time as the Nine of 1878, and the way they batted that ball was delightful to behold. Tyng, after Thayer had gone out by Walden to Downer, hit safely for two bases in the direction of left field, and took third on the inability of two thirds of the Yale nine standing one behind another to stop the ball fielded in by Brown; this had no effect detrimental to the earning...
...second time since we have been connected with this paper, the pleasant task devolves upon us of expressing our thanks to the Crew and the Nine for the double victories they have won for the honor of Fair Harvard.

...confidence which the Crimson has always expressed for the Nine, even after the unlucky Cambridge game, has proved itself not misplaced. Three games won from Yale in one week is a record the Nine and the College can well be proud of, especially since the scores were so largely in our favor.

...basement will probably be the most attractive part of the building. Here there are nine bowling-alleys in a room 83 by 84 feet. At the northern end space has been set apart, 83 by 30 feet, for ball practice, and coal-bins, store-rooms, water-closets, and a boiler-room fill the rest of the basement. A large bow-window projects from the western side of the gymnasium, and is designated as the "Armory." It is to be hoped that the Pea-body rifles of the H. R. C. will be safe in this armory from the raids...
