...never failed to make at least one base hit in a game until a week ago Saturday, when he faced Smith at Fitchburg. Bound this time to punish Harvard's new pitcher, he made what seemed to be one of his old-time hits over short-stop's head. But Wiestling ran back swiftly, leaped in the air and captured the ball with one hand, a marvellous catch. In the first inning Harvard scored twice on hits by Willard and Wiestling, and errors by Flagg and Sullivan; and in the fifth two more runs were added by a base...
Under the head of Harvard notes the Williams Fortnight has the following items: "Between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 has been left the college by Jacob P.

...make good the deficit, resolved to ally himself to a comely, lenient and docile young lady of the Malay or Caucasian race. He accordingly purchased a calliope and a coral necklace of a chameleon hue, and securing a suite of rooms at a principal hotel, he engaged the head waiter as his conjutor.

He is a very good all-around player and will develope into an excellent catcher. Weed, '86, was away from college last year and has played ball but little in college. He, however, has the making of a good player. The other candidates...
...grounder, took third on a passed ball, and came home on a sacrifice hit. Score Brown 1; Harvard 0. In extenuation of Winslow's error, it should be said that when at the bat, in the first half of the inning, he was hit in the head by a poor pitch by Gunderson, and had to stop playing for fully five minutes. After this, Brown was unable to score until the ninth innings, being entirely unable to hit Winslow's bewildering curves...
