...class to have debts dragging on from year to year, and the freshmen will assume this burden unless they give what money they promised to give. The amount unpaid, we understand, is amply sufficient to settle all outstanding bills, and the management of the nine has a right to rely upon its payment. Every freshman who has not paid his subscription should make it a point of honor to do so before leaving Cambridge...

...very excusable error however, but failed to score. In the eighth inning, Nichols reached first on balls, Allen and Smith hit safely, and then a fumble by Talcott gave Harvard three more runs. When Williams came to the bat in this inning, Warren knocked a long fly to right field, in towards centre, which looked good for two bases; Foster ran hard, got under the ball, but just at this instant the strong southwest wind which was blowing across the field, veered the ball in towards the right, and Foster, quickly turning with his left hand caught...

...left on third by the retirement of the next three men. For Harvard, Beaman got his base on balls, and went to second on a passed ball, but careless base running resulted in his being put out between second and third. Tilden hit hard for two bases to right field, and was followed by Nichols, who drove the ball to long left field for a home run. Willard was put out at first on a missed third strike. Allen made a clean two bagger. Smith got his base on balls. At this point in the game, Dillon be came discouraged...
