...base hit of Tower's. The fifth inning was disastrous to us, for after whitewashing our nine the Live Oaks scored five unearned runs on errors of Leeds, Thatcher, and Tyng. The next two innings added nothing to our score and one to that of our opponents. In the eighth it looked as if we might win. Leeds and Wright led off with base hits, Dow followed with a slow grounder towards third, which the pitcher threw over the first-base man's head, letting in Leeds and Wright and sending Dow to third. Ernst then struck a grounder...
...pitching was even more effective than usual, but five base hits being made on it, while Thatcher caught without a passed ball. Wright played first base with only one error, and that a very excusable one. Tyng made three bad errors, and Leeds and Sawyer two each. In the eighth inning Leeds atoned in some measure for his errors in the first part of the game, by making a wonderful running catch of a low fly. Tower led the batting. Of the Live Oaks, Stratton, Shattuck, and Coggswell did most of the fielding...

...beautiful spurt and saw all their competitors behind them as they ended the race. The next year happened the unfortunate collision with Yale, almost at the beginning of the race. When our crew was away again, they began a spurt which lasted to the end, though on the last eighth of a mile they were much used up and allowed another boat to pass them. It was well done and deserves praise, though, if they had been trained as the crew of this year has been, and will continue to be, they would have rowed the last quarter...
