...yesterday afternoon when it was shut out by Amherst, 3 to 0. This game, in which Harvard secured but one hit, coming just three days before the Princeton game, makes the outlook anything but encouraging. Brick, who pitched for Amherst, was steady at all times, and used an effective slow spit ball which the Harvard batters were unable to send for safe hits. Most of the balls rolled to the infielders, and resulted in easy outs. Only four Harvard men reached first base, and Aronson's single over second in the sixth inning was Harvard's lone...
...conceded to Harvard. The university team, on the other hand, showed weaknesses in the events in which it was thought to be the strongest, as for instance the quarter and half-mile. As a result of the hard rains during the past week the track was rather heavy and slow, and a downpour, which came just before the 220-yard hurdles and 220-yard dash were run off, left the track in very poor condition and caused slow time in these two events...
...good condition as last year at this time, a fact which cannot be laid to the weather or lack of competition. E. K. Merrihew '10 was not allowed to start at all; F. M. deSelding '10 ran with a sore ankle; H. Watson '10 was beaten in slow time compared to that he made in the Harvard-Yale Freshman dual meet last year; and P. C. Lockwood '08 has by no means reached his standard of former years...
...ahead of Lockwood, who barely beat out Hawley of Dartmouth. Captain Dodge failed to place. In the 220-yard dash it was thought best not to start Captain Dodge, as the muddy track made the risk of mishap too great. This event was also won by Sherman in the slow time of 22 3-5 seconds. Hawley was second and T. S. Blumer '10 was third...
...Miller, Jr., '08, who took the lead at the start and gradually increased it during the race, winning in 4 minutes, 36 1-5 seconds. Barstow of Dartmouth was second and E. L. Viets '10 third. The two-mile was won by M. S. Crosby '08 in the slow time of 10 minutes, 11 1-5 seconds, after much changing of leaders and a fast spurt the last half lap. Walker of Dartmouth came in second three yards behind Crosby, and R. E. Dole '10 was third...
