...expecting. It is unfair to criticise Perry as if he were an experienced catcher, and he deserves every praise for his steady play and evident determination to take all chances. Annan, as short-stop, beside his general good play, made the prettiest hit of the game, a beautiful two-baser. Nevins, in the field, made a remarkable left-hand catch, and at the pitcher's position his throwing did great execution...
Those students who witnessed this game were repaid for the trouble of their trip by the sight of one of the most interesting contests of the season. As the score shows, each side had made two runs at the end of the seventh inning, and at that time a glorious victory for Harvard seemed at least possible to her excited partisans. But the batting of the Mutuals in the last two innings was too much for our amateurs, and we were obliged to content ourselves with having fought a good fight. The playing of our out-fielders...
...Yale matches, and fielded in fine style. Cutler won fresh laurels by his magnificent fielding, while the three basemen, aided by Annan, rendered running the bases an extremely delicate matter for their opponents. Hodges made the very creditable score of no outs, seven runs, four base-hits, and two double plays. Harvard's batting was a succession of heavy, safe hits. It is entirely incompatible with the theory of the game of base-ball that wild, brute-force throwing should be effective among good players. By the side of this blind throwing, Hooper's accurate pitching, requiring judgment and strategy...
...news from the Freshmen at New Haven, coming on top of the victory here, was too much for our elated fellow-students. About two hundred of them found relief in a "sing" in front of Hollis, winding up with "Fair Harvard," "Auld Lang Syne," and a mammoth ring around the yard...
...them from the time of arrival to that of departure rendered their visit extremely pleasant. Saturday's game was called at 2.50 P.M. by Mr. Williams, Yale '73, who acted as umpire. The play of our Freshmen showed very great improvement over that displayed in their games here, only two errors, we believe, being their share of the day's blunders. As the record shows, the game was all one way from the first, and resulted in a Harvard victory of 25 to 4. '76 is the first Freshman Class that has beaten Yale since '71, and we heartily congratulate...
