Last year Harvard, with Slater and Greene in the box, defeated Vermont 11 to 6. Today the opposing team presents the same battery as last year, but, with the exception of the short stop and first baseman, is made up entirely of new men. The University team will have the same batting order as was announced for Wednesday...
...University team this afternoon will present an entirely new outfield, and there will be one change in the infield. Lanigan and Aronson were both members of last year's Freshman team, the former pitching and playing in the outfield, and the latter occupying short stop. Waters played on the second team two years ago and last year was on the University squad. Keefe, who replaces McCall at second base, is a fast fielder and good batter, and was third base on last year's second team. The infield is at present playing in good form, but the outfielders fail...
...toyman presents in a puppet show a ridiculous parody on the story of Hero and Leander.

Of the new men Lanigan made a good catch in the outfield of Haydock's long fly, and Haydock at third base for Team B made a very clever stop and throw of Leonard's swift grounder. Of the catchers Jordan made two excellent throws to second base...

The Harvard swimming team has no tank to practise in, and no material but those men who will sacrifice a whole season of football or baseball for 2 or 3 swimming events, where time by the most approved stop-watches never exceeds four minutes, yet is by common consent of the legislators pronounced an extravagant mis-appropriation of time, energy, and gray matter. Lest such wholesale absorption of athletics be increased they have made the two-season rule...
