...making error after error, and allowing the freshmen to score twelve runs. For the first two innings, '95 played a careful game, and did not allow their opponents to score. Walker's catching was not up to his usual standard, however. In the last three innings, the men became rather careless, and let Browne and Nichols score seven runs...

...article in Outing for April, which Harvard men of athletic tendencies will probably find most interesting, is Malcolm W. Ford's "Pole Vaulting."

...rather disappointing that more interest was not shown this year in the sparring. If anything, there was less than was manifested at the meetings last year. It would seem unfortunate if the practice of sparring were allowed to die out from Harvard sports altogether, without any attempt to revive it. Just what the best measures to bring about its revival would be, it is hard to say. The question is one which deserves the careful consideration of the Athletic Association.
