...ability to pass Plummer at the net, and great accuracy in his cross-court strokes, won two straight sets, 7-5, 6-4. By fast, aggressive play, Blagden (H.) defeated Sturgis (Y.), 6-2, 6-1, and Warland (H.) defeated Sargent (Y.), 6-3, 6-3. Larned (H.), by slow, but remarkably steady tennis, defeated Collins (Y.), 9-7, 9-7, Bishop (H.) was not in his usual form and Condict (Y.) defeated him, 6-4, 6-2. Cole (Y.) defeated Prentice (H.), by more accurate placing...
...entirely of a practice game with the Freshmen. The rules of the game were not strictly adhered to the work being for the most part devoted to giving the University nine practice in base-running. As has been the case in all the games of late, the men were slow in taking advantage of their chances, and were caught repeatedly by sharp throwing on the part of the Freshmen.

The fielding was fairly sharp and accurate, but the outfield was trifle slow in starting. No bunting or base-running practice was held...
...Franklin this afternoon. As Dean has a strong, well developed team the game will probably be the hardest the Freshmen have played this season. Up to the present time the Freshmen have shown rather irregular development, at times playing fast, accurate ball and at other times being careless and slow. Their base-running has in general been characterized by listlessness and a failure to make the most of their opportunities. The batting, though much better the last few days, still shows a tendency to hit the ball into the air and to strike at wide balls. On the whole...
