...opposing nine played a fairly good game, considering that their catcher and pitcher were hired especially for this occasion from the John L. Whiting team. The grounds were extremely poor, and the umpire, if possible, worse. The feature of the game was Choate's long uphill hit to right field, which secured him a home run. Other good plays were made by Foster for Harvard, and by Barkley and Chapman for Tufts. Smith's pitching was effective, while the number of assists he made was rather unusual. For the home nine White led at the bat, making about half...

Here '88 joined in the race, and at half a mile from the finish '89 did also. The last quarter-mile was quite close and exciting, '89 leading, and '88 a length behind. The freshmen crossed...
