Harvard defeated Murray and Irwin's nine yesterday afternoon in a very loosely played game, by a score of 4 to 3. Scarcely anything can be said in the way of criticism. The whole game was lifeless, and devoid of interest, and whenever an opportunity was presented to make an error, it was accepted unhesitatingly. Highlands and Bates, on the contrary, pitched well for the greater part of the game, and between them struck out fourteen men. Mason caught Highlands, and for the first time this year, Trafford caught behind the bat. He did not distinguish himself yesterday...
...Parnell was personally unworthy of gratitude. - (a) He was moved, not by patriotism, but by personal ambition: Nation, 1 Jan. 1891; Foreign newspapers quoted in London Times, 9 Oct. 1891. - (b) He was devoid of principle. - (1) Admitted lying; Blackwoods,' March, 1890. - (2) O'Shea case: Times, 8 Oct. 1891. - (c) He betrayed the confidence. - (1) Of his associates, Gladstone and Morley: Nation, 4 Dec. 1890, pp. 431 and 434. - (2) Of thousands of Irish people who had left homes on promise of immediate aid: Nation, 1 Jan. 1891. - (3) Of his whole party by risking their success...
...undergraduates has mainly centered on foot ball. The game on Saturday with the University of Pennsylvania drew a large crowd to the field and in its result was very satisfactory to all well wishers of the team. The game was played on its merits throughout, being wholly devoid of unnecessary roughness, and the high score run up against the Pennsylvania men has raised very sanguine hopes as to our success this year. Very few are willing to predict the result of the game at Springfield today, but it seems to be the general opinion that, barring accidents, Yale will...
...thoroughly earnest manner in which the Harvard Young Men's Christian Association has begun work this year must convince every one that our life here is not by any means devoid of a religious aspect. These men are hard workers; very few outside of their number appreciate their efforts, but nevertheless, in a quiet way, Harvard students have made themselves very valuable in charitable work in Boston. College men have a strong hold on the poor, and are able, in their matter of fact way, to do much good. The work is interesting in the extreme and all who feel...
...Friday. harvard played more steadily in the field than the day before, but her batting was very irregular. In the field Linn played a brilliant game, and Dean made one fine stop and a double play with Trafford. As far as the other fielding features went, the game was devoid of any especial interest. Downer's home run in the sixth inning was the only heavy hit made by Harvard, although both Linn and Alward managed to obtain two-baggers. Dartmouth outbatted Harvard, and the game would have been very close if the pitcher, Harland, had not been will...
