...similar fate, Yale getting two. The Nine soon became accustomed to Nevin's eccentric underhand throws, and punished him for two, five, and two, in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, while New Haven only obtained a two and a one in the fifth and sixth. At this point the score showed fifteen runs in our favor against six for our opponents; but Yale now began to pick up fast, and scored five and three in the next two innings to nothing and one for us. White had changed positions with Perry, but, beside frightening the enemy from stealing second...
...Eleven played a game at Salem with the Alphas on Saturday, May 17. The first inning was close and well played, and resulted in a tie, each side scoring 45. The fielding of our Eleven was very sharp; the noticeable points being Spinney's wicket-keeping, Warner's play at long-stop, and Green's at point. The batting was fair.

The selection of a Referee was left to a committee consisting of McClellan, Oakes, and Hartwell, which will report in July. A new starting-point was settled upon at a point one fourth of a mile below the old one, where the river is about eleven hundred feet wide...
...readers. Usually a criticism upon any study in college, or upon any particular part of it, - either as relating to its usefulness or to the manner in which it is taught, - has to be stated in very general terms; if it is not so put, if anything specific is pointed out, the instructors in that branch are apt to feel that the criticism arises from personal dislike rather than from any existing fault. I most certainly wish to avoid making any such impression, and because I definitely point out the course to which I refer, and endeavor plainly to present...
