...University baseball nine won its first game of the season by defeating the University of Vermont in a raggedly played game yesterday afternoon by a score of 9 to 4. Although the fielding of the team was crude, and the base-running at times stupid, on the whole the work accomplished was promising; for despite the many careless errors the men played with dash and determination...
...swift trifle, full of the broad humor of burlesque that carries itself in any tongue, and strikes the eye in the action of the players before the words reach the ear. Sganarelle's daughter is sick of love for her Clitandre. Her dull old father is too stupid to see the only cure. Wiser is the daughter's companion, the sage Lisette--wise beyond her years. She tells slow-witted Sganarelle that it will be a death-bed unless physicians are summoned. There is safety in numbers thinks the old man, and four doctors answer his call--pure figures...

The linemen of both elevens played hard and aggressively, but the backs did some very stupid running, and there was inexcusable fumbling. Foster was not in the scrimmage, but ran through signal practice with one of the trial elevens. Starr was in the first play, but as his ankle is not yet strong he was replaced by Quigley.

...team was unsatisfactory at the first of the season, but the development since then has been good. The chances of victory favor Harvard, but the teams are more evenly matched than they have been for six years and Harvard will win only by good hitting and by avoiding stupid errors...

In the first game, played at Worcester on May 6, Holy Cross won by a score of 6 to 1, Harvard's defeat being largely due to erratic fielding, stupid base-running and inability to hit at critical times. Since then Holy Cross has been beaten twice by Yale 4 to 3 and 5 to 4, by Georgetown 6 to 1 and by Fordham 7 to 4; but has defeated Dartmouth 6 to 1, Amherst 7 to 5, Brown...
