...defeated the Freshmen Saturday on Norton,s field. The game was by far the best the Freshmen have played this season: still the playing of the team as a whole is sleepy. There is not anything like enough snap and vim in their work. and the coaching is very poor. Waters, a new man, was tried in left field, and covered his ground well, accepting four difficult chances. Stone also played well, making some very pretty throws. For the Wollastons, outside the battery Wood and Grant did the best work, making two double plays. The score was as follows...
Harvard, 21; Dartmouth, 12.Harvard defeated the Dartmouth College nine yesterday afternoon on Jarvis fleld by a score of twenty-one to twelve. The game was characterized by poor fielding throughout, of which Harvard did her full share. The men seemed to play a sleepy game most of the time, in spite of the fact that Dartmouth was in the lead during the greater part of the game. Alward did poorly at short-stop, and Upton was off in his throwing. Howe, '93, was tried in the box for the time, and during the first inning he was very unsteady...
...batting was heavier and she had the advantage of having five men sent to first base on called balls, while Downer did not send a single man to his base on four balls.

...from Mark Twain's book of that name, was begun at the Hollis St. theatre. The play is a very good one, and well-worked up. Perhaps, in parts, it savors too much of the melodrama; at any rate this seeming defect was made apparent at times by the poor work of several artists in the company. On the whole, however, the rest of the company furnish a good support for little Elsie Leslie who plays the title role in a very charming way. Her work has a uniqueness about it which is very refreshing. Almost every movement...
...twice every day under the supervision of James '90. The Yale News gives the following brief criticism of the different men: "Gallaudet rows a short stroke, is slow with body on the recover, and is careless in the finish. Wallis swings body and rushes the slide. Craven has very poor body swing and slow with hands. Mills is also slow with hands and his body work is poor. Pond swings out on catch and pulls out on finish. Graves has no body swing at all. Van Huyck's stroke is very uneven at finish and he clips slightly. Gould falls...
