...last year's manager, A. C. Denniston, '83, was read, showing a balance of about $1000 to the credit of the association.

...game was well contested throughout, and was won in the last half of the ninth inning. The July game in New York was called at the end of the fourth inning, the score standing Yale 1, Harvard 1, even innings. On July 3d the nine went to Philadelphia and on the afternoon of July 4th was dedicated by Yale by a score of 23-9.
