Whether or not a crippled Harvard eight can defeat the best Yale crew of recent years is a grave question. Reports from Red Top indicate that the loss to the boat has not demoralized the eight by any means, and in the time trial on Wednesday Cutler's work at number two was very good. No one can estimate just how much the change has weakened the boat, but those of us who have no hopes for a victory are disregarding a very important consideration--Captain Richardson's indomitable courage and the unbounded respect in which he is held...
...University baseball team suffered another defeat Saturday, losing to Brown at Providence by the score of 3 to 1. Harvard threw the game away in the first inning on three errors, which gave Brown two runs, and was then unable to gain the lead. Brown's other run also resulted from an error. Hicks deserves great credit for his excellent pitching, which he maintained throughout the game in spite of the poor support accorded him. He allowed but three hits, the first of which came in the sixth inning, and gave only one base on balls. He had the Brown...
...last year's team were disqualified. The outlook was extremely poor at first, but with capable coaching and hard practice a good nine has been collected and is fast rounding into shape. On the Southern trip the team was unsuccessful, and lost several games by large scores, including a defeat by Georgetown, 14 to 6. Since then victories have been registered over Bowdoin twice, 3 to 0, and 2 to 1, over Trinity, over Yale, 3 to 2, and over West Point on Saturday, 4 to 2. Vermont, however, scored a defeat over Dartmouth, 3 to 0, and Holy Cross...
...University baseball team suffered its fourth successive defeat yesterday afternoon when it was shut out by Amherst, 3 to 0. This game, in which Harvard secured but one hit, coming just three days before the Princeton game, makes the outlook anything but encouraging. Brick, who pitched for Amherst, was steady at all times, and used an effective slow spit ball which the Harvard batters were unable to send for safe hits. Most of the balls rolled to the infielders, and resulted in easy outs. Only four Harvard men reached first base, and Aronson's single over second in the sixth...
...will include tricks with cards, needles, handcuffs, and his famous water-can escape. This is the second time that Mr. Houdini has performed in the Union, having been here before in 1906. For the past two weeks he has been in Boston, and has foiled every means devised to defeat him. In an exhibition last Thursday, he dropped, shackled and handcuffed, from 'Harvard Bridge into the river and appeared at the surface, unhampered, in less than thirty seconds...
