Yale played a sharp game in the field. Goodwin played finely, his throwing being especially good. Ayer and Tuttle played well, and Hickox, though rather wild, was very effective. They were with the exception of Ayer and Sheppard, entirely unable to hit Baker. Harvard, with the exception of the slight flurry in the fifth inning, played a steady and brilliant fielding game. Baker pitched splendidly, keeping his opponents down to three hits, and striking out ten men. Tilden caught extremely well. Potter did what little he had to do capitally ; he is a promising player.

This, headed by oarsmen, foot ball players and others, they succeeded in doing by bombarding the visitors at every move with...
...breast the larger world out-side his college walls to find that there is astonishingly little of all he thought he knew that can at once be turned to practical account. He soon realizes that a degree is to be valued for what it helps him to do, rather than for its prestige...
