...Hicks's strike-out. Carr was passed, and went to second on Trumbull's catch of McLaughlin's foul fly near the first base fence. Potter followed with a long two-base hit to centre field which Hamilton could not reach, scoring Carr with the first run.

The Freshmen, on the other hand rowed in good form for so early in the season; their watermanship was rather poor, but their inboard work was very creditable. The orders of the crews were...
