More than this, the nine certainly does seem to lack head. In the first inning. Murphy was at least thirty-feet from third when Highlands got the ball, and yet he threw to first. That run was a pure gift. Then in the seventh with two men out, and men on third and first, they bunglingly tried to cut the man off at second, and so let in the second run. Coaching Hallowell home in the seventh seemed to be a piece of poor judgment. Such plays are exactly as bad as errors...
what benefit they may get by playing with our teams, and to assure them of or interest in them. If there has been a falling off in the number of Andover and Exeter graduates who come to Harvard, is it not partially because we have seemed to be indifferent to their interests?

...game with Amherst at four o'clock this afternoon promises to be an interesting one, as the last score was very close. The men seem to have made much improvement in batting during the last few days under Col. Winslow's coaching. The batting order of the two nines is as follows...
