...Freshman baseball team won its fourth game of the season with Andover Academy at Andover, yesterday afternoon by the decisive score of 9 to 0. The pitching of Hicks for the Freshmen was excellent. He allowed but two scattered hits, and pulled the team out of several tight places...

...would have scored a shut-out but for McCall's error. He was effective all the time, and struck out seven men and passed only two. The opposing pitcher, Quint, was not speedy, and did not have a great variety of curves; but he pulled himself out of several tight places by making the men at the bat knock pop flies. Captain Dexter made two pretty catches in left field, and scored the first run with a pretty single to left, after which he stole second and third. Pounds' work in right showed no improvement, his throw to the plate...

...Faculty, seems to me entirely misleading. The Med. Fac., as has been pointed out elsewhere, has long been out of date, and knows it. Its older ex-members are undoubtedly anxious to close it out.

To the latter the principal cartoon and an editorial article are devoted, both conceived in what expansionists would doubtless call the spirit of the "Little-Harvarder," to whom his tight little Yard is world enough. The other drawings, including many initials and sail-pieces, are generally good. The subject of the piece at the bottom of the second page is somewhat painful; the dropping of one of the 1904 editors. (Is the text to this picture at the top of page...

...hundred and twenty-five men who responded to the call for candidates, the majority are of some experience. The most creditable feature in the work of the candidates this year, is their fighting spirit. This determination for playing a hard game has thus far helped the team out of tight places when efficiency in form has failed. The same spirit, however, seems to be a feature in the work of Columbia and Yale this year. Up to the present time Columbia has made the best showing, having defeated all opponents by large margins. The prospects of the Harvard team...
