...freshmen played their first game on Holmes field on Fast Day with the Beacons. The Beacons appeared without several of their men, but nevertheless played a good game. Mr. Coolidge of the 'Varsity Nine covered second base for the Beacons. The freshmen played a very weak game in the first inning, but improved as the game advanced.

The last series was played under particularly unfavorable circumstances, at a time when we had an especially weak nine to pit against the strongest nine that Yale ever put into the field. Every senior will recollect with pride the plucky fight we then made for supremacy against overwhelming odds. The 2 to 1 game, the 3 to 0 game, and the 3 to 1 game, coming as they...
