...Latham and Nunn gave Harvard 3 runs. Dodge made a base-hit, but was left on second, the succeeding batsmen striking out. Wright made a base-hit, and scored on damaging errors by Hunt; Alger also scored on an error by Hunt, Latham's base-hit, and a wild pitch. Errors by Tyng and Ernst allowed Hamill to make third in the fourth inning. Neither side reached a base after this until the seventh inning, when base-hits by Thayer, Ernst, and Wright, aided by errors of Hunt and Cutts, gave two runs. Wigton reached second on a failure...

She saves a classmate (male, of course) from drowning, rides a wild horse, is almost killed, like Horace, by the falling branch of a tree, and generally had her nerves strung to so high a pitch of excitement that if a reaction took place after graduation, the consequences must have been dreadful indeed. Likewise did she have her share of other wooing...
