...first game on a 'Varsity nine. His batting was good and in fielding he accepted all of his chances in good form, making some pretty throws to first. In fielding he seems to be only the equal of Clark, though his batting form appears to be a little surer, and his base running faster...
...errors. The fielding of the rest of the team was fair, but the men played in a rather too confident way and did not exert themselves enough. Stevenson seems to have improved a great deal in form since last year; he handles himself better and is much quicker and surer. Hayes made one bad fumble, but redeemed himself later by what should have been a double play but for Haughton's error. Haughton played carelessly and as if he felt too secure of his position. Scannell made some clever catches of high fouls...

Few interests of the undergraduates are better worth keeping up than the musical, and there is no surer way of encouraging them than by some show of appreciation of the work the clubs have done. The concerts in Sanders Theatre are the only occasions on which all the clubs appear together or can be heard by a large number of the students. They should attract large audiences...
