Yesterday afternoon the nine had its final practice before the Yale game. The men put considerable snap in their play, and the practice, though short, was unusually sharp and clean. Most of the time was spent in batting, with Hayes and C. J. Paine, Jr., '97, in the box. In the fielding, during the end of the practice, Chandler covered centre field while Burgess was moved to right. In left, Sears took the place of Rand, whose knee is still in such condition that it renders his chances of playing Friday rather doubtful. The nine was coached by C. Smith...
...unable to play in the Yale game Thursday, in which case in all probability Chandler will be his substitute. Hayes has a lame arm, which causes him some inconvenience, but there is little doubt that it will be limbered up by Thursday. Rand's leg is slowly improving though it is still a question of much doubt whether he will be able to enter the Yale game. If he cannot play Sears will probably take his place in left field. With the exception of these three men the nine is in good condition and has been constantly improving under...
...reached, the referee declared that a week would be given the men, at the end of which time the race would be rowed over again, or, if only one appeared the rece would be awarded him. In the race of the Junior eights the B. A. A. crew, though clearly beaten by the Weld, made a plucky spurt and gained over a length...
...Sears made a home run over the centre field fence, McCornick and Hayes doubles, and Laughlin a three bagger, before the first man had been put out. Further scoring was prevented by a double play by Bacon, Fultz and F. Croker. In the ninth, Robinson and Sears singled, and though the next two men struck out, a combination of errors and Laughlin's second triple scored Harvard's last runs...
...success of Yale's experiment in the "Wigwam" is happily suggestive, however. Though it is inadvisable to continue the 1900 class club on a formal basis, it might with a somewhat different and more social organization still be carried on in the interests of Harvard debating. As is the method at Yale, the club might be divided into several "camps" which could compete informally, debating contemporary college subjects, which, in not requiring a great degree of preparation, would not discourage the busier debaters, and would be most effective in popularizing debate. The Sophomore and Freshman clubs would still retain their...
