...other net, which was under the direction of ex-Captain Williard, were Campbell, L. S.; Quackenboss, M. S., and McKean, '90. Boyden was pitching to this net. In the field were Gallivan, '88; Linn, '90; Mason, '91, and Codman, '90.

They must have been "daft" if they expected...

It was cold and damp, and the game was too one sided to be very interesting, though Harvard's heavy hitting called out a few cheers. Allen had his finger split in the fourth inning and had to retire, and the change battery, Smith and Henshaw, came...
