Turning to the work of Harvard at the bat, it is seen that the men quite outdid themselves. In the second inning, after two men were out, five successive hits were made and three runs scored. This put Harvard in the lead, and the game was won then and there. Nothing was scored in the third inning; but in the fourth, four more hits and several costly errors by the Brown men enabled Harvard to make three more runs; score, 6 to 1. The fifth was even more disastrous for Brown. Foster went out, third base to first. Then Wiestling...
...While it is pretty generally true that what is written for money is not of the best quality, yet it is also true that what would be written, for money without it is often not written at all.

While Harvard lengthened its lead by scoring its eighth successive victory, Yale, our most dangerous rival, fell one step more to the rear by dropping a game to Princeton. But while we cannot refrain from a feeling akin to relief that all uncertainty is now removed, we yet can congratulate ourselves upon the fact that Harvard will be indebted for the championship to no other college, for the Harvard nine of 1885 is going to surpass the records of all the colleges...
