...home run and the possibility of winning instilled a little interest in the game. Brown was held without score in the last three innings, although three men got to first in the ninth. With two out in the last of the ninth the University team made its first real attempt to bring in runs by bunching hits. Lanigan singled over second base and Harvey hit to right field for two bases, scoring Lanigan. Harvey was left on second, however, as Currier was unable to hit Nourse...
...crew seems to be essentially a four-mile combination, lacking the ability to sprint which wins the shorter race, and its strength and staying power are counted on to win for Harvard at New London. It is even believed by some that last Saturday's defeat will be of real advantage to the eight, as tending to do away with the overconfidence which has proved fatal to so many college athletic teams...

Yet the exotic style marks well enough the peculiar character of the book. It is no treatment of the subject, simply for its own sake, such as an especially qualified...

Yale's three heavy football players who practiced faithfully all through the year naturally had no trouble in winning all points in the hammer-throw, and in the shot-put Harvard had but one man of first-class ability. There must be many men in this College who could have won points in these events if they had only been willing to try, and yet the spirit here is not strong enough to make...
