...freshmen and the Fall River High School team. Ninety-two played without snap, and the baserunning as usual was poor. The batting was weak except in the tenth inning when Cummin and Wrenn made clean hits, thereby bringing in the winning runs. Spalding pitched a good game, but his support from Hollis was, at times, very loose. Wrenn played a beautiful game at second base with the exception of his inexcusable muffs of thrown balls. Carpenter played faultlessly at first, and Cummin made good catches in left field. Brown's work at third base was hardly creditable. The freshmen...

We remind the college that to end its career honorably the association must have subscriptions to pay off its debt. This obligation rest upon the college and we urge that every one feel a duty in the matter...

...desire of the University that Harvard should discontinue her connection with Intercollegiate lacrosse." The meeting yesterday afternoon was attended by about forty men who play lacrosse and ten men besides, thus making it evident that there is no desire on the part of the students at large to support a 'varsity lacrosse team. The question was carefully debated by Messrs. Harding '89, Garrison '88, Ropes '89, Williams '85, Blodgett L. S., and others. A motion by Mr. Harding, that the association do not send a team on the proposed trip this week, was carried after some opposition. Mr. Harding then...
