...Harvard vs. Boston game, on Tuesday, was called at the end of the third innings on account of rain, the score standing 4 to 1. The exhibition, although not a very brilliant one, still tended to show that Winsor with constant practice may develop into a pitcher...
...College championship, defeating Dartmouth by a score of 5 to 2. The Dartmouth men were extremely hospitable in their entertainment and impartial in applause. Rundlett pitched with excellent effect, and was well supported by Cram behind the bat. Thayer played finely at second base, and made several brilliant fly-catches. Winsor pitched well, and Nunn made some fine stops; Coolidge, however, carried off the fielding honors for Harvard by putting out three men and assisting six times, including two double plays. The Dartmouth Nine is an extremely strong organization, and only needs a little practice to develop into first-class...

With a little practice these two men will form a strong addition to the Nine, if not for this year surely for subsequent ones. Lloyd batted finely...
...matter of surprise, as well as regret, that the Freshmen, after making such a brilliant start in athletics, are failing to support their class crew in a substantial way. Up to the present time only one half of the money which the crew must have in order to row the race with the Columbia Freshmen has been subscribed. More than half of the class, although most of them have been called upon to subscribe, have failed to give anything at all. It is not necessary to wait for the subscription-list to be brought around, but it is the duty...
