...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 playing form. W. A. Howe led at the bat, and Cram caught some hot foul tips.

If they could shake it off, they might stand up straight and grow strong. As it is, they scold vigorously at the instructors and the "marking-system," but turn their backs when some wrong appears at which the majority wink...
