...Freshman nine defeated Brown 1900, on Holmes Field, Saturday afternoon in an uninteresting game. Though few errors were made, the fielding was not as sharp as it should have been, and the batting was weak.

The crew as a whole is apt to hurry and fails to use the leg drive soon enough. The watermanship is very good and has improved much of late. This crew is the heaviest of the four...
