...first three innings no runs were made, Harvard showing her usual inability to get on to the pitcher until the men came to their second turn at the bat. In the fourth innings, however, after two men were out and a chance was given for the third, Harvard piled up four runs on three base hits by Ernst, Wright, and Latham. From this point on the only interest in the game was to see if Amherst would be whitewashed every inning; and this, from the weak way in which she was batting, seemed not at all improbable. The nearest approach...
...word the crews made a rather good start, the inside crew getting perhaps a slight advantage in the "send off." Before the turn, number three had practically fallen out of the race. Number one turned first, quickly followed by number two, who had kept well up to the inside boat. The race home between these boats was a continued struggle. Number one crossed the line about a length ahead. No form, of course, was shown in this race, but it was pluckily rowed from beginning...
...should be rowed over; but the two inside crews showing an argumentative spirit, it was found impossible to carry this decision into effect, and the race later in the day was given to Guild's crew. The reasons for so doing ought perhaps to be stated. Before the turn, as we have seen, Guild's crew was ahead, and as they went round they were fouled by Page's crew, who were from the moment of the foul out of the race. In the second foul between numbers one and three, although Guild fouled Weld, still Weld was thrown...
...heap of Punch in the midst. The Hall is Massachusetts; the interior is the reading-room; and a virgin octavo, lying on the table, is familiar to but few undergraduates, under the title of the New-Englander. On my occasional visits to the hall aforesaid, I seldom fail to turn down the leaves of the New-Englander, for the sake of passing through the sleepy obscurity which marks the pages and the thought of the retired periodical...
...apparent fickleness in other things; but whether this be the cause, or the reason is to be found in the universal weakness of man, the fickleness remains. Rifle-shooting, but a few months ago all the rage, gives way now to a mania for knickerbockers; these in their turn will fall an easy prey to the first rival for the popular favor. There is yet hope that the interest in boating will show itself to a great extent this spring. If it does it will be, unquestionably, a good thing for the College...
