...first match, and being individually fine players, the ball was forced at once towards Harvard's goal. The defence of our team at once had their hands full to keep the ball away as fast as the Americans rushed it towards goal. Easton made several very fine stops of swift balls, and several times kept grounders from being forced through the flags in dangerous scrimmages. Rueter and Goodale seemed everywhere when the ball neared the goal, and each made many fine plays.

In all the champion nines of last year, the men were conspicuous for their swift base running. More, the men were carefully coached while on bases, from the time they reached first until they had crossed the home plate again. No chance to gain a point was allowed to escape the notice of the vigilant coaches watching at either side of the field. Our nine...
...Swift's reputation for eloquence and wit will doubtless draw a large audience, and I understand that there will be an opportunity for those who wish, to become members...
