...result of this hard hitting was to send Gunderson to right field and Murphy into the pitchers box. There the latter did not fare much better than his predecessor. Two runs were made in the 7th and two more in the eighth. In the ninth Brown made its only hit off Winslow, a high fly just over the fence at left field. Before Foster could get over the fence and field it back, the batsman, Gunderson, had made the circuit of the bases. The score at the end was thus 15 to 2 in favor of Harvard. The work...

...Gericke has shown a progressive spirit in the matter of novelties in his programmes, perhaps even outdoing his predecessor in this respect, so far, at the same time he evidently does not mean to neglect the older and classical masters. Altogether we can anticipate a very enjoyable series of concerts. This is a part of a liberal education which it behooves Harvard men to make the most of, for they have peculiar advantages in this respect.
