Five members of last year's Yale team will play today. Owing to injuries, however, the team is considerably different from that which took part in the first game of the Princeton series, and even somewhat changed from that which played in the third Princeton game two weeks later. McKay, who pitched in the first game, is unable to play today on account of an injured arm. Metcalf, the regular second baseman and a member of last year's team, is out of the game with an injured leg received in the last Princeton game. Smith, who played right field...
Owing to the severe winter, the work on the new University Medical School buildings has been somewhat delayed. Work was begun last November, and as the contract called for completion in twenty-three months, the buildings should have been finished a year from this summer. Since, however, they will not be completed until the fail of 1905, and since the School cannot afford to run two establishments, the new buildings will not be entered until the following summer...
Although the Amherst team has, to some extent, been handicapped by injuries, it has made a fairly good showing this season, particularly in batting. In the field, however, it has been somewhat erratic, and the pitching, which has at times been brilliant, has been unsteady, a bad inning in the box being responsible for the loss of several games. The team lost two games to Holy Cross by scores of 9 to 3 and 6 to 2, respectively, but it should be noted that in the first, Amherst made eight hits and Holy Cross ten, and in the second, each...
...four bases on balls. R.W. Brown, who pitched for Andover, struck out seven men, gave only three bases on balls and allowed only six hits, not more than two of which were in any one inning. Although the inability of the University team to hit a school pitcher was somewhat discouraging, the team seemed to have regained the steadiness and speed in the field which were in evidence in the Pennsylvania and Georgetown games and so notably lacking in the Princeton and Bowdoin games. The men threw accurately, and executed very well the two double plays...
...University team played by far its best game of the season, and somewhat excelled in team-work, but was unable to overcome the advantage which its opponents had through familiarity with the field and much longer experience at the game. One the offence, Harvard in the first half repeatedly brought the ball down the field through the opposing defence only to lose it by passing too much in front of goal; this fault was largely corrected in the second half, however, when aggressive attack and frequent shooting resulted in five goals, as against one in the first half. The University...
