...catch of each stroke, but went more smoothly afterwards. On the way upstream Richards rowed half of the distance, before Morgan succeeded him. The boat rode very steadily when Richards was in, but seemed to lack the vigor which was evident when either Morgan or Emmons rowed. The poor showing made by each of the men who rowed 3 can partly be accounted for by the fact that the position in the boat was not rigged to suit them individually, and for Morgan especially by the fact that he has rowed on the port side this year and last...
Yesterday the University team held a long batting and fielding practice, followed by base running, which was poor in the Cornell game. At times the work was erratic, but the men improved toward the end, and played with considerable dash and spirit. The batting orders: HARVARD. BROWN.

Briggs, at shortstop, is new in the position, and at times displays nervousness, but he covers plenty of ground and is fairly accurate. He is one of the best batters of the team. The work of the catchers has been far from satisfactory; they throw poorly to bases, and very frequently misjudge foul flies. Kelly's work, however, during the past week has been encouraging and he will catch today in place of Moss. Hartford should prove effective as he has had valuable experience against the smaller colleges. He is apt to weaken, however, and to lose control...

Simons was somewhat erratic at shortstop, and with the exception of Castle was the only man not to get a hit. Harvey fielded cleanly except for a poor throw to third, after Castle had throw wild to McCall. Pounds made a home run and a two-base...
...HAVEN, May 30.-The Yale freshman base ball nine defeated the Princeton freshmen 3 to 2 in a 10-inning game here today. Both pitchers played well in spite of poor support. The winning run was made on a steal to the plate. Yale made one fast double play...
