...Saturday, for, although the errors were some of them bad, the general work of the team was excellent, the batting especially being very good. Adams was weakened by a new catcher, who, notwithstanding the swift pitching he had to face and his split thumb, caught very pluckily to the end of the game. Taylor, Gallivan, Holden and Austin did good work in the field for the freshmen, Austin at one time striking out three men in succession when the bases were full.

...about one-half mile down the course, where the senior crew was watching the race, the university crew had an easy lead of about two lengths. By rowing a longer and better finished stroke than the juniors, they increased the lead to some three or four lengths at the end of the mile...

There is a pair of parallel pars at the end of the boat, and the stroke is always in great danger of being kicked in the head and having his eye-glass disarranged. The chest-weights take up one side of the room, and when in use, the men on the flying rings have to stand aside. In fact, there is so very little room anywhere...
