Harvard followed after a short intermission. The first wicket fell for 32, Brown being the victim to A. Thomson after a well played and hard hit inning of 26. Balch's steady inning came to a close immediately after his partners. The wickets then fell rather rapidly until Frost and Dexter were associated.

Besides the large number of tenors and bases, the club will need a yodler and a whistler. The number...
