...these men outdoor work was begun. A great disadvantage here has been that the team has had no crease and has been obliged to resort to a practice wicket with a matting placed in front of the batsman. Despite this handicap, however, the men have improved consistently from the start. In bowling, Bradley is the steadiest man and has downed the most wickets, though Drinkwater and Wilder can alro be relied upon for effective work. The non-appearance of J. A. Lester with the team has been a great disappointment, as he has been its mainstay for three years, both...
Harvard secured a lead of four runs at the start, scoring two in the first inning on Kendall's single and Reid's home run. This was followed by two more in the second. Wendell reached first on an error, was advanced to third by Devens' two base hit, and both men scored on Stillman's timely hit. Pennsylvania was shut out till the fifth inning, when two errors by Coolidge, followed by a single by Shape scored one run. In the sixth each team scored one run, and in the next inning Pennsylvania tied the score, making three runs...
...preliminary heats of the interscholastic boat races were rowed on the Charles Saturday afternoon. The course was a little less than a mile, starting just above Harvard Bridge and finishing at the Union Boat Club. Rough water and the hard rain made good rowing difficult. The first heat was won by Brookline High School with Waltham High second. Hopkinson won the second heat easily, after a very poor start, and Brown and Nichols finished second. In the third heat the water became smoother, and the race was a hard fight between Noble and Greenough's and Stone's, in which...
Harvard began the game with a rush and scored three goals in quick succession--all the result of shots by Hardy. Cornell seemed bewildered at the start, but improved later and kept Harvard's score down to four goals for the first half. In the second half the teams were much more evenly matched, and, although Harvard scored four goals, Cornell played a faster game and succeeded in making one point by the skillful individual playing of E. P. Smith...
...University crews raced yesterday over the three and three-eighths mile course, from the Weld Boat House to the Union Boat Club. The first eight gave the second a start of twenty seconds and did not lap them until they reached Harvard Bridge. From there to the finish the first crew steadily gained, finally winning by about two feet; time, 18.12. The eights were fortunate in finding the bridges all clear, but in passing under Harvard Bridge the first crew was slightly hindered by their oars hitting a pile beneath the water. The men were brought back from the finish...
