...ever a nine deserved to win a game of ball by good playing, the Yale nine deserved to win the game on Saturday. With the single exception of Jones giving two men their bases on called balls, the play of the Yale men was absolutely faultless. Jones' pitching was effective, Hubbard's catching and throwing to bases was perfect, Hopkins and Terry vied with each other in seeing which could put in the best work in the field. The batting was heavy and the base-running sharp. The whole nine played to win and it won. Harvard played a good...
...pulls. Although Harvard pulled in beautiful form she was beaten by about 3 feet. If any proof were needed that this event should not be in the inter-collegiate sports the pulls on Saturday furnished it. The team which had the south position was beaten in every case, and except in the pull between Harvard and Columbia the anchor of the losing team was pulled several feet through the earth. The only excuse for retaining this event on the programme is the interest taken in it, and if it is retained for this reason it should unquestionably be pulled...
...game, Harvard's defeat was undoubtedly due to the wretched inefficiency of the umpires and referee furnished by Yale. The following men played for Yale: McDowell, Cottell, Ayers, Lincoln, Connell, McCormick, McHenry, Bertron, Rollins, Mallon, Twombly and Spencer. The Harvard team was the same as in the Princeton game, except that Goodale played in place of Machado, who unfortunately was unable to play. Game was called soon after three o'clock, and the ball was kept near Yale's goal most of the time for half an hour, but owing to the sharpness of Yale's defence no goals were...
Harvard has certainly every reason to feel satisfied with the result of the athletic games on Saturday. The records in almost every instance were very good, and the fact that, except in the case of the mile walk, no one of the winners was pressed, give us every reason to expect far better performances next Saturday. Mr. Soren in the running high jump excelled any of his previous records, and in Mr. Atkinson, who cleared five feet six inches, we have an excellent man to take his place next year. The running of Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Morison was beyond...
...freshman classes of Yale and Harvard have played base-ball against each other for the past seventeen years, except in 1871. At the opening of another season it may be of interest to glance over the record. Of the thirty games played, Yale has won twenty-one and Harvard nine. Three games, however, were for some reason or another forfeited by Harvard, giving them to Yale with scores of 9 to 0. These contests were inangurated by the class of '69, and the earliest games resulted in favor of Yale by such scores...
