Stillman was not as successful as usual, although with good support he would have scored a shut out. He gave three bases on balls in succession in the first inning, but after that steadied down somewhat. He was hit for only three singles, and struck out eight men. Kernan misjudged three high fouls, but otherwise he showed some improvement. Except in one instance he threw to bases well, and held pitched balls reliably. Frantz was weak at the bat, partly because of swinging too hard. He fielded faultlessly. Clark made a costly error but he covered plenty of ground...
...very short stories, "Joe's Denial" and "An Accepted Story," by R. A. Wood '03, deal with somewhat similar subjects in very much the same way. Both of them are rather interesting and show spirit, but at times, there is almost too strong a suggestion of the proverbial reckless undergraduate in them. Of the other stories, "The Fountain of Pirene," by A. D. Ficke '04, is the most original, and of the greatest merit. It is simply told and the descriptive words running through it are natural and effective...
...team played with good spirit, and batted well when hits counted, but throughout the game there was a marked tendency to knock high flies. Stillman, in the first four innings, did not allow a hit and gave but one base on balls. His good work was somewhat marred by a wild pitch which advanced a runner to third base in the second inning, and by one fielding error. Clarkson, who pitched the rest of the game, was also very effective. Lafayette's only hit was a bunt towards third base, which Clark did not touch, expecting it to roll outside...
...trespass on the space of your paper to give a warning to some of the students of Harvard. There is a practice which is somewhat general among money lenders to induce students to give post dated check instead of promissory notes in payment of loans. The lenders say they would rather have a post dated check even if there has never been anything standing in the name of the maker in the bank. They represent this check to be practically equivalent to a promissory note. Many of the college men are led into this trap and do not consider...
...bunch three of them in the third inning. The encouraging part of the game was the success of putting Frantz of first and Murphy on second. Both fielded their positions easily and faultlessly and madehard, timely hits. G. C. Clark's slow fielding and poor base-running was somewhat counterbalanced by a long home run Kernan was slow in the field and batted awkwardly, but did some promising work behind the bat. With the exception of Reid, the rest of the team had only fair success at the bat because of useless efforts to knock the ball over the outfielders...
