...half a dozen men picked from the three upper classes will go to Andover to-morrow. This substitute team will, in all probability, be composed of better material than the regular freshman team, but they will be hampered by never having played together before. We trust, however, that the veteran players, when aided by the remnants of the eighty-nine team, will be able to score a victory over Andover. We sincerely trust that never again shall we see the pitiful spectacle of a freshman eleven practically forced to disband because a few of the men on the team...
...game began at three o'clock with Beaman, the former veteran third base-man of Harvard, at the bat. Beaman has played ball considerably this summer and had never failed to make at least one base hit in a game until a week ago Saturday, when he faced Smith at Fitchburg.

Our twelve has, by steady work, developed a strong system of team play, which will make its presence felt in the game of to-day while our veteran individual players will do their utmost to make up for the defeats of last year...
...ball exercise for crew men in fall is acknowledged to be excellent practice, but the men, with one exception, have no time for it this year. Most of the candidates are sophomores with but one year's experience in rowing; in fact but one man can be considered a veteran oarsman ; it has therefore been thought absolutely necessary to begin active and regular work on the water this fall...
