...error. Harvard did not score again till the ninth inning when, with the score four to one against her, she made a desperate effort to retrieve the game. Dean led off with a long three bagger to right. Then Hallowell knocked a sky scraper to left field. It fell directly in the fielder's hands but he dropped it, and Dean came in. The crowd of spectators woke up and began to do some vigorous cheering. Hallowell took second on the throw in. Hovey and Trafford both hit to short; and their sacrifices brought Hallowell home. Two men were...
...Mott Haven team was in excellent condition, and were looked upon as sure winners; but there were many surprises and some hard luck. In the mile walk Hale was disqualified, and in the 440 yard dash both Wright and Mullins fell heavily. In all, nine records were broken, Carey of Princeton, Williams and Ryder of Yale, Mapes of Columbia, Shattuck of Amherst, and Finlay and Fearing of Harvard especially distinguishing themselves...
Among Harvard's most precious possessions are the poems which were written in commemoration of her sons who fell in the war, and in the New England Magazine for June is an article on "Harvard Memorial Poems" which cannot fail to interest Harvard men.

Taylor, while spurting around the bend in the last lap, fell, partly through a foul and partly through his own fault, but the referee allowed him the ride in the final heat. This event was a decided farce. For two laps the men loafed. At the beginning of the third lap the third lap the speed was quickened; the men finished, Murphy...
...more before Ninety-three was in position. By this time the Ninety-four boat was unsteady, but Referee Peabody had grown tired of waiting and gave the word at 21 minutes and 24 seconds after 5, although the freshmen were not ready for the start. Naturally enough the freshmen fell behind and were fully a length and a half behind at the end of the first five strokes. Ninety-three had the lead the first few strokes but soon gave place to Ninety-two, Ninety-three being third. The seniors were rowing a quick, powerful stroke-fully thirty-eight...
