...around to third on the same throw, and scored on Austin's hit, the run which tied the game. Ingersoll had just before fould out, and with two men out and a man on first the game was called on account of darkness. Austin, Holden and Hallowell batted the hardest for Harvard. Excepting some fine fly catches and a foul catch by Stagg, the fielding was not brilliant on eithre side.

It cannot, therefore, be expected that the class crews will attain the standard of perfection which they reached in former years. This lack of time upon the water presses hardest upon the freshman crew, who are all new men, and need a longer time to get into condition for shell rowing. All the crews, except the freshman, are now using sliding seats in barges, and will enter their shells in a few days...
