...game with Amherst was an easy victory for the 'varsity yesterday. The fielding was perfect; Highlands fielded his own position for seven assists and a put-out and none of the men behind him made an error...
...nine did some good batting but it was not extraordinary considering who the Amherst pitcher was Colby, their regular pitcher, was saved for the Dartmouth games Friday and Saturday, and Gregory, the freshman pitcher, was put in the box.

We refuse and he goes to the 'varsity captain and induces him to postpone the game...
