...other attempts were too much on the grand-stand style, and were very disappointing. Downer pitched well except in the fourth inning, when he was very wild and presented Yale with several unearned runs. His infield support was, however, anything but steady.

Pond swings out on catch and pulls out on finish. Graves has no body swing at all. Van Huyck...

Moreover when the faculty has been so courteous as merely to call attention to the careless habit and leave the matter to be righted by student action, it is only right for the students to obey as promptly as if they were obliged...
