...first few minutes the teams played evenly, then R. P. Smith scored and the Freshmen began to weaken. They played a hard game throughout the first half which ended with the score standing 3 to 0.

At the beginning of the season the work of the first basemen was very poor. Harding, by perseverance and steadiness has developed into one of the best Freshman first baseman in years. He is still rather...
