...steady play and evident determination to take all chances. Annan, as short-stop, beside his general good play, made the prettiest hit of the game, a beautiful two-baser. Nevins, in the field, made a remarkable left-hand catch, and at the pitcher's position his throwing did great execution...
...station by the Yale men, whose attentions to them from the time of arrival to that of departure rendered their visit extremely pleasant. Saturday's game was called at 2.50 P.M. by Mr. Williams, Yale '73, who acted as umpire.

Misery loves company, and it is a great aggravation to our discomfort that we are never permitted to see tutor or professor with hair unkempt and coat buttoned up around his throat. Men who would show such...
