...effects of grinding for the final examinations were very evident in Saturday's game with the Goodyears. There absolotely no life in the play and the fielding was very loose though Hovey's and Hallowell's errors were almost excusable. Wiggin and Cobb put more vim into their work than the rest of the team combined. Wiggin was very effective, striking out twelve men and allowing but four safe hits. Harvard scored one run in the first by a base on balls and a wild throw by Alphen over second. In the next inning Trafford reached first, being...
...crew as the second substitute. As a whole, the crew has made an improvement in their watermanship, although there are still many glaring faults. It is expected, however, that the steady work at New London, the morning and afternoon rowing will make the faults less noticeable and put the vim and precision into the stroke which is absolutely necessary for victory over the '95 crews of Yale and Columbia. The following is the order of the crew, as the men are rowing now and as they probably will row at New London...
...every day, and twice on Monday. Jones '92 is still coaching them, sometimes in the coxswain's seat and sometimes in the pair-oar. The weather on the river has been excellent for rowing, and the men, realizing that the last days are at hand, seem to put more vim into their work. Improvement is, however, till hoped for.

But there have been several changes among the substitutes. Cook has been dropped from...
Exeter started with the ball and went to work with a vim which sent an exultant thrill through every one of her enthusiasts. Her play was sharp and strong and her team work excellent. Andover was completely at her mercy. But careless and inexcusable fumbling counteracted all this display of strength. Three times in the first twenty five minutes, Exeter had the ball within Andover's five-yard line, and twice at her ten-yard line, but all five times she lost the ball either by fumbling or off-side play. Finally Arnold succeeded in carrying the leather across...
...game on Norton's field yesterday afternoon between Hopkinson and '95 was a disgraceful affair for the freshmen. The rushline was wholly unable to hold their opponents, and the interference was poor. On the other hand, Hopkinson played with a vim and dash and their interference was admirable. Hopkinson started with the ball and in three minutes Brewer scored a touchdown from which Fairchild kicked a goal. '95 lost the ball on four downs, and Stevenson made a touch down. No goal. Just before time was called, a safety added two more to Hopkinson's score. The second half...
