...easy victory for Spraker. In the Harvard Yale trials last Saturday he cleared 5 feet, 11 1-4 inches with such ease that two inches more might be confidently expected of him. Smith of Cambridge, the best English jumper, has done but 6 feet, but with his awkward style, he will probably have difficulty in beating Kernan for second place...
Second. Many of the men are very awkward and rough in handling themselves and their cars. This jars and tips the boat so that it has been very unsteady and does not run on even keel. This is a very serious fault, because it makes more work for the men all the time, and makes it hard for them to apply their full strength...
...infielders on both sides were very unreliable, and through errors and slowness, missed many chances to retire runners. Shortstop was a weak position on both teams, Smith making six errors and Chase playing a slow and awkward game. Kendall at first was extremely reliable and Keene, though he made some bad errors, was clever in putting out men at second. Lovering played fairly well but missed several chances and interfered inexcusably with the runners. Wood played a steady game at second. The work of the outfield for both teams was very creditable...
...Freshman crew squad has now been rowing long enough for the general faults of the candidates to be clearly apparent. The men seem to be awkward, and though they are well up to the average in strength, they do not apply their power well. The crews are still very unsteady. All the men are apt to let their oars fly up at the catch and to weaken at the finish. In fact their power is applied only in the middle of the stroke. This is partly due to the fact that they do not yet stand on their stretchers firmly...
...were on hard chances, the nine showed a falling off in team work. This was due largely to the absence to Story. G. C. Clark failed to cover the base when he might have retired a runner. J. D. Clark's work on first was unsatisfactory, and he was awkward in attempts to catch runners off the base. Reid's throwing to first was not as accurate as usual. In the outfield, Higgs and Stillman did not cover enough ground. Frantz led the team in batting, with a three-base hit and two singles, and Clarkson brought...
