...Belmot's side made five goals and Mr. Appleton's four. The play throughout was good and at times brilliant. the game itself is very exciting. When the ball is knocked in front of the goal and three or four players come dashing down with their ponies at full speed, with their mallets raised above their heads, one cannot help wondering whether they will hit the ball or the players and their ponies. However, accidents are rare. The club is to be congratulated on its success, as it seemed hardly possible a little while ago that so many active members...
MILE WALK.He started off in beautiful form and by square heel and toe work managed to get over the first lap in 1 minute, 48 seconds. The second lap compelled him to slacken his speed a little, and was walked in 3.45, the third in 5.44, and the fourth in 7.37 1-4, three and a quarter seconds above the Harvard record.

Baker has done most of the pitching for the nine, and does fairly well, he has good curves and very fair speed. He is very weak on "pop" flies, and also at the bat. It will take a great deal of hard work to get him in proper condition to face Yale. Cowling will play first base ; he plays his position fairly well, but is weak on "pick-ups" and ground balls...
...confidence, a fault that has more than once lost a race. There is, however, good mettle in the boat, and great improvement is to be expected. The men are not gentle enough in shooting out their hands, but jar the boat from bow to stern, thereby materially affecting its speed. The following are the names...
