...principle in watermanship. Rowing at Cambridge has for sixteen years been under the charge of Mr. Herbert Rhodes. The principles of his system are: The hands must shoot away smartly from the chest; as they release the body for the swing which actually (though not theoretically) begins before the arms are perfectly straight. In any case the swing begins before the slide and carries the slide forward with it, both being slow and steady, especially the slide, and the forward movement both of slide and body must end at the same moment. In the moving forward let the body...
...bowling, while our eleven has better batsmen. In fielding the teams ought to be about even. The Haverford men have been working since Christmas, under the instruction of Woodcock, the college professional. Their captain, Bailey, is on the first eleven of the Merion C. C. He bowls fast round arm, with a good deal of curve and break. Martin, a slow bowler with a both off and leg-break is on the first eleven of the Young America club. Muir one of the best batsmen is on the eleven of the Belmont club...
...strong as it should have been. The team as a whole, however, deserves praise for its work which was cool at critical points. The nine was unfortunate at the first in losing the regular catcher, who broke a finger. Bell filled his place creditably, but his arm was in such a condition that the Yale men stole bases with impanity. Hawley pitched exceedingly well. In the ninth inning he saved the game by striking out two men in succession with a man on third base, and only one run needed by Yale...

The outfielders were very weak on ground balls, and the juniors secured several runs from their errors. Considering the condition of Bell's arm which necessarily took away much of the effectiveness of the battery, Ninety-two made a very creditable showing. McCoy played a good game at second base for Ninety, and his home run on a sharp ground hit along the third base line was one of the features of the game...
...team will have to improve greatly if they wish to make any showing in the other class games or with Yale Ninety-two. Churchill pitched a slow ball and the opposing team hit him heavily. Bell caught well but his throwing to second was poor owing to a sore arm. Carpenter did well at first base. Wrenn at second, and Brown at third both performed creditable work. The batting of the whole team was deplorably weak. Appended is the score...
