...Saturday resulted in defeat for our nine, there is no reason to feel discouraged about our prospects. For the first 7 innings the game was sharply contested, and the superiority of play evidently lay with the Harvards. The batting of the nine was strong. Nichols excelled in this respect, placing to his credit a 3 baser, 2 baser and a single. White's work as pitcher was especially gratifying; not a hit was made off his delivery until the seventh innings and only four during the whole game. He fielded his position for all it was worth, and made several...
...best of physical exercise we firmly believe is to be got from athletic sports. When then the present reform has brought it about that every student shall find his place in some athletic sport, it can be said that the agitation now so frequent will not have been in vain. But not until this result seems in some fair way of being attained should the agitation for this end cease. The same writer we have quoted also says very forcibly: "The great danger which besets our college students is not an undue fondness for open-air sports, but the direct...
...Thursday they were again beaten by a score of 14 to 0. Other games have been arranged with the Providence nine for April 17 and 19, and with the Beacons for April 21. Greene is captain and will occupy catcher's position, giving up his place at third to Bassett, last year's catcher. This exchange of places will prove advantageous, for, though Greene is an excellent catcher, his play at third is erratic, while Bassett may be depended on to play a steady though not a brilliant game. Smith will pitch again this year and has a good substitute...
...Club, resulting in a score of 3 to 1. The nine is made up as follows: J. M. Harlan, c.; Moffat, p.; Edwards, 1b.; Antrim, 2b.; J. S. Harlan, 3b.; Wilson, s.s.; Clark, l.f.; Wadleigh, c.f.; Shaw, r.f.; Edwards and Shaw change battery. It will be seen that four places were left vacant at the end of last year - catcher's and pitcher's positions, first base and second base. Harlan, who takes Schenck's place, has been substitute catcher for two years, and may be depended on to make good the loss of the veteran. Antrim played...
...pitcher will be Booth, who pitched in the freshman nine year before last and who was thought at that time to be a phenomenon. Souther, '84, will be change catcher. Hopkins' placeat first will be taken by Childs, '83, while Camp goes from short to second, leaving his old place to Griggs, '83, an excellent short-stop and a heavy batter who would have occupied the position last year if he had been in college. Noye, '85, who played such a superior game on his freshman nine has filled short-stop's position in the games thus far played. Slocum...
