Sixth Inning. - Yale zero; a two-base hit by Hutchison. Harvard two runs off a base-hit by Howe, a sacrifice by Nunn, and errors by Parker, Walden, and Ives...
...wild throw to second and Howe's fumble. Harvard went to the bat to face Carter for the last time as the Nine of 1878, and the way they batted that ball was delightful to behold. Tyng, after Thayer had gone out by Walden to Downer, hit safely for two bases in the direction of left field, and took third on the inability of two thirds of the Yale nine standing one behind another to stop the ball fielded in by Brown; this had no effect detrimental to the earning of Tyng's run, as no chance was offered...
Howe had Carter completely under his sway, making three base-hits and two sacrifice hits out of six times to the bat. Wright, Nunn, and Tyng also batted finely. Thayer and Nunn fielded finely, while Wright and Latham played their bases with their usual perfection. Ripley and Brown did their best for Yale, and played a fine up-hill game. Carter was well backed up by Ives, the former's delivery having a decidedly erratic tendency, and consequently being hard to handle without errors...
...absurd to think that no one could have ordered a shell of Waters, to be built after an English model, except Robert J. Cook. As for Blakie's shell, it did not split from stem to stern, but two years after it was built it was loaned to the Freshmen, who kicked a hole in the bottom of it. As for Keart, "the Yale factotum," about whom we heard so much before the race, he built a shell for the Yale crew, and it was so worthless that they never could use it, and it is now falling to pieces...
...known, fully sustained the renown of their Alma Mater. Although the summa cum laude was not attained by any member of the class, it is well known that one at least came so near as only to miss it; and to another triple honors were awarded, the highest in two studies, and honors in a third, - a distinction almost without precedent. We bid adieu to '78. Many faces long familiar will be missed from our accustomed paths, but in their places will arise pleasant memories of the past, and with these will be associated youth's bright hopes...
