...playing of the Freshman though fast in the first five innings became spiritless towards the end of the game. Brennan, who took Greene's place in the eighth innings, was ineffective, and showed poor judgment with men on bases in the ninth. The batting was encouraging, but the base-running showed little headwork. The fielding of the team, except in the ninth inning, was fast. The score was fairly close until the sixth inning when the Freshmen scored nine runs on four hits, three bases on balls, and two errors. In the ninth inning Brennan weakened, and St. Paul...
...playing of the Freshmen was very spiritless, their fielding was inaccurate and with a few exceptions the batting was weak. Hall pitched effectively, but lacked support. Brookline High School, after being seven runs behind, tied the score in the eighth inning. In the last half of the eighth, however, the Freshmen scored four runs on two bases on balls, and hits by Evans and Sibley...
...Dartmouth's erratic fielding, as the nine hits made were scattered, and the bunting weak. Clarkson, Carr, and Matthews did the best hitting. Coburn showed improvement in control, but exhibited lack of practice in fielding, making three of Harvard's six errors. The rest of the fielding was spiritless...
...game was, perhaps, the most discouraging played this year, for in addition to the team's customary weakness in batting, several very costly and inexcusable fielding errors were made. The base-running, too, was deplorably spiritless, three men, being caught between bases. Clarkson seemed to lack a little of his usual steadiness in the box, for, although he succeeded in striking out seven men, he allowed four bases on balls, and hit two men. Behind the bat, Kernan allowed three passed balls, one of which let in the tying runs in the ninth inning...
...practice of the University hockey squad yesterday afternoon was very ragged and spiritless. As only eleven men were on the ice, no regular game could be played, and the practice consisted entirely of playing the forwards against the defense. In this work the defense showed more than usual strength and succeeded in stopping very consistently the rather crude attack of the opposing forwards. The practice throughout was characterized by loose individual work, although Litchfield showed marked improvement at goal, and Carr proved an almost sure check to the shooting of his opponents...
