...gave Harvard four runs. Errors by Thayer, Wright, and Ernst and two passed balls gave Brown a run in the ninth. In the eighth inning base-hits by Howe and Nunn and a sacrifice hit by Thayer gave Harvard an earned run. Ernst and Howe did most of the work for Harvard, while the outfield were kept busy on the Brown nine...
THAT was a very neat compliment that the last Advocate paid the Class of '80. As is usual in such cases, those who are the least known for "honest work" are proudest of the compliment...

To this lack of assurance, rather than to any other cause, is to be attributed...

Those offered by the kindness of private gentlemen and club tables are made conditional on a given time being equalled or beaten, and that is quite right; if gentlemen subscribe handsome medals or cups, they do so to induce men who do not train for the honor or love of athletics, to train sufficiently at least to make our time creditable and respectable.

It might also be suggested that, if they should play nines which are stronger rather than weaker than themselves, the next game with Yale would turn out differently...
