...swift pitching which the Harvards have faced all the spring seemed to have somewhat incapacitated them for hitting Thompson's deceptive slows; and their batting was not nearly as good as it has been in some of the recent games. Hooper and Estabrooks each made a pretty hit. Eustis brought in three men by a hard hit to centre-field which went through the fielder's hands, making a very welcome addition to the score, as he followed them directly on a passed ball by Madigan. Our Nine fielded very well, notwithstanding the slippery ball. Hodges and Kent played without...
...Spring Scratch Races of the H. U. B. C. were rowed over the Boat House course, Saturday, May 17. The single scull race was easily won by W. F. Weld, Jr., '76, with D. C. Bacon, '76, a bad second.

The bracing oxygen of a crisp morning in winter, or the balmy air of the better days of spring, is a strong argument in favor of walking even in preference to exercise within the walls of a gymnasium, where ventilation, especially in cold weather, is difficult. In fact, exercise within doors has always to contend with a disadvantage, and they make a strong point against dancing who urge that...
