...yards. Fine interference contributed not a little to his feat. The rest of his work was of a superior kind, but he was finally hurt, and gave way to Hoag. Wrightington and Gonterman also showed up brilliantly, each of them repeatedly making long runs. Waters and Gonterman did clever work also in the rush line. The best part of Fairchild's playing was his interference; his passing was often at fault, both in speed and accuracy. In the line, Lewis was a host in himself.

Among the prose articles, "For Unknown Reasons," by Arthur S.

In the third he drove in three runs with his three base hit, and scored himself on an error, while in the eighth his double was good for two more. The score...
...safely but three times, while thirteen struck out. Highland's work in the second was a pretty exhibition of pitching. Two Holy Cross men reached third and second on a wild pitch and two bases on balls. With no men out a score seemed inevitable, but by very clever work he succeeded in striking cut the next three...
