E a; o g m 3 o r° Q a: s, ft o I £ o o CO a Q a w o Zl S this Third Annual Report of Haverford Athletics goes forth to accomplish its mission, we trust that it may receive the same cordial reception as in years past, and may increase the pride in the heart of every Alumnus toward his Alma Mater. The unwonted interest in athletic matters during the present year will doubtless make such a publication as this one of special interest, and an earnest effort has been made to obtain all desiraljle information, and make the work most comprehensive in its value. We realize that certain historical portions have been most superficially covered, but this is due to the extreme difficulty and delay in obtaining data, and, while we crave pardon for all omissions, the endeavor to avoid the same has been a most conscientious one. The writer would extend his most sincere thanks to the Alumni who have so willingly assisted him, to Captains Lester and Wood, of the Cricket and Foot-ball Teams respectively, for valuable help, and to Messrs. W. J. Taylor, C. R. Hinchman, and the firm of Gilbert Bacon, who have so generously aided him with the illustrations. JAS. A. BABBITT. Havertord College, June ist, 1S96. Cricket Team, 1S96.

Tlie season of 1S95 was a most successful one for Haverford, although it oiiened with but little promise. The first few games showed what miglit be expected of a team made up so largely of new material, and the outlook for a successful season was most gloomy; but, after one or two defeats, a football spirit seemed to seize the men, and the college as a whole became so much interested, that, by the end of the season, Haverford had two elevens on the field which would have rendered good account of themselves against any team among the smaller colleges. The great success of the season was, of course, the victory over Swarthmore. This game is recognized at both colleges as the most important one of the season, and every effort is made to place the best possible team on the field at that time. The team, this year, was selected from the best men in college— parental objections being temporarily waived— and, for the first time in several years, Haverford students and friends could watch a really representative team striving for Haverford honors. The game was interesting, though one-sided, and was especially free from disagreeable incidents. The Haverford players proved themselves in good condition, and played with the samespiiit and dash from start to finish. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the men for their faithful and earnest work in preparation, and especially that for the Swarthmore game. The college is also much indebted IS L- H. Wood, Captain, ' 95 Team. H -«■ -■st? v to Dr. Branson, ' 89, and ISlr. Johnson, ' SS, for their efficient coaching, and Professor Babbitt for his help and encouragement — for the spirit which brought us success was in large part due to him. A brief history of the games between Svvarthmore and Haverford would perhaps be of particular interest this year, enthusiastic as we are over the recent victory. Altogether fourteen games have been played, of which Haverford has won seven and Swarthuiore seven. The fiist game between the two colleges, that of 1S79, was won by Haverford. During the three years followirg no regular games were played, though, in 18S2. the Haverford Freshmen defeated the Swarlhmore Freshmen in a class game. Two games were played in 18S3, one in the spring and the other in the fall, with a victory to the credit of each college. From 1884 to 1886 Haverford claimed supremacy, though Swarthraore placed no team upon the field the latter year by reason of accidents. In 1887 Swarthmore won, but in 1888, with Thos. Branson, ' 89, as captain and fullback, Swarthmore was beaten 6 to o, which would show how evenly matched were the teams of that year ; and again in 1889, under the captaincy of H. Baily, Haverford won by a score of 14 to 6. The five years following were disastrous to Haverford, but the handsome victory of last fall only indicates the general revival in athletic interest, and we trust that the spirit of success now resting upon the college is the forerunner of a bright and prosperous future. In conclusion, let me add that the prospects for our next year ' s team are Ijright, and that, with ■the material now in college, and that which is likely to enter the Freshman class, a team should be formed which will meet the same or greater success than that which reiiresented Haverford College in 1895.

No one was bred wiih greater reverence I ' ur ihe earlier heroes of Haverford Cricket in the 50 ' s — the Mellors, l.i] ' pincotts, Bettles, Starrs, and others, than the present scribe ; as a bttle Freshman of fifteen, he used to reyard them (together with the Ncwhall Ijrothers), as about the greatest men then living ! But it is not the object of the [jresent brief article to eulogize that dim age of the past; nor is there space to do justice to the hundreds of their worthy younger brethren who have done their duty, each in his day and generation ; even Fox, ' 73 ; Haines, ' 75; Kimber, ' 76; Taylor, ' 76; Baily, ' 77 ; Comfort, ' 78 ; I.owry, ' 79; Mason, ' 80; Carey, ' 81; Shoemaker, ' 83; Settle, ' 85; Hilles, ' 85; Garrett, ' 87 ; Patterson, ' 88; Sharp, ' 88; Burr, ' 89; Baily, ' 90; Mu ir, ' 92 ; Rhoads, ' 93, and Morris, ' 94, can be mentioned by name only. But I would contrast the present team with the little band, who, just thirty years ago, tramped down to Wynnewood (their staunch backer, little Gus Gummere, trudging behind them), to play the first inak h with the new Marion C. C. No cricket flannels did we s|)ort ; three bats, three pads, wicket keeping gloves, and a ball (together with a few spikes in old shoes carried under our arras) formed our entire outfit. No one could bowl round- arm, and a player who got double figures or a side which scored fifty in those days was duly honored. Well, we tramped back again that night, sadder if wiser boys; defeated not by Merion cricket, but by their ■ ' pink lemonade! However, the next year (while not forgetting to beat the Varsity in an innings), e amply revenged ourselves in the old meadow ground, and thereby set an example for all time ! That defeat was a blessing to Haverford cricket ; for we sold old books and clothes for implements, soddid and rolled creases ourselves, made nets, and worked like demons generally till we got that revenge. What s ic i ivork and grit ■viiW do was shown by the fact that Congdon, ' 69, was selected to play against All England two years later. But we must hurry from these memories of the past, though one naturally loves 39 Meeting-House Walk. D. H. Adams, ' y6. Haverford Library. to dwell upon the happiest days of his hfe. Ten years later over one hundred of Haver- ford ' s sons gave her a beautiful cricket ground, a fitting adjunct to the new Barclay Hall ; ten years more and they began furnishing a regular professional coach; and now they have donated the only cricket shed for winter practice (as far as known) in the world. Mean- while from year to year our Eleven has responded by at different times defeating almost every club and eleven in America within reach. And now, to contrast iS66 with 1896, we find Haver- ford (like Bonnie Leslie, or Alexander — as you please) trying to spread her conquests further, and proposing a friendly crusade among those ancient seats of learning which have nurtured so many high in thought and deed among our brother Anglo-Saxons. Their sons are the ones who have made, in a large measure, the history of the English race for many centuries, and our Alma Motcr is honored by the courtesies which have been offered to her representatives by such institutions. Not as cricketers only, then, will our Eleven cross the Atlantic. But the editor of our Annual has i ' ' , H. ' I ' avlor, ' 76. asked for some points as to the different English elevens which it is proposed to meet : lack of accurate knowledge makes the (juestion difficult to answer. Eton ( liglit blue) was conceded to stand at the top last year, but is said to be not so strong this. They have played Harrow at Lord ' s annually (almost) since 1S05, and each has won about thirty limes, there being thirteen draws ; ten centuries have been scored in that time. In iSiS and 1834 Harrow won by only 13 runs, while in 1866 she won by an innings and 136 runs. In 1840 Eton won by 31 runs, in 1870 by 21 runs, and in 1845 by an innings and 194 runs. Last year ' s game ended in a most exciting draw (in Eton ' s favor), the last Harrow man going in at three minutes to time ! There are about one thousand boys at Eton, many of them being of the aristoc- racy ; and some fifty Masters. Beautifully situated in the Thames 41 IIaverfokd C ' KicKtr Captains. A. C. GARRETT, iSS?.

Rugby (light blue), Clifton (white and blue), and Cheltenham (cerise and black) were rated together for second place in cricket last year. The Rugby t ' s. Marlborough match, played at Lord ' s for very many years, is second in importance to the Eton vs. Harrow match only. Rugby plays no other school, but she plays a number of the Oxford colleges; she needs no introduction to readers of Tarn Brown, the great elms of her beautiful close being almost as famous as her renowned head-master, Dr. Arnold, whose work reformed and modernized English public schools. There are upwards of five hundred boys at Rugby, and although she lacks the historic features of Eton, Winchester or Westminster, she has turned out many great men. Rugby is nearly in the centre of England; it was Dickens ' Mugby Junction, being a great railway centre. Clifton and Cheltenham, more modern schools of high standing, are both in Gloucestershire in the West Country; the former is in a beautiful suburb of Bristol ; the latter is at a fashionable health resort. They are great cricket rivals, and Clifton plays no other school ; Cheltenham also plays Marlborough and Haileybury (at Lord ' s). Next ranks The Charterhouse, Thackeray ' s school, now moved out of London to the pretty town of Godalming in Surrey ; but the classic oUi buildings near Lincoln ' s Inn Fields are still well worth a visit. Their old-time riv is Westminster, though latterly The Pinks have had much the worst of it ; they also play Wellington. In the fourth rank come Harrow on the Hill (blue and white ), and Winchester (dark blue), the latter the ancient and renowned foundation of William of Wykeham, formerly known as St. Mary ' s College — a fine old place, under the shadow of its beautiful cathedral and near the fields by the river. Winchester honor-bo)s go to her twin foundation, New College, Oxford ; high among her many distinguished sons stands Dr. Arnold. Boys were often entered for Winchester at their birth, and Wykehamist is (]uite as distinguished a title as Etonian. ' ' Neither Winchester nor Harrow play any other school than Eton, nor do they now play each other ; formerly the three had a week ' s triangular cricket tourney annually at Lord ' s. Harrow is finely situated a little north of London, and has always been noted for its athletes. Marlborough (blue and white) closes the list of first-class cricket schools. It stands on the eastern edge of the great Wilt- shire chalk-downs. During the last two seasons she has been beaten by both Rugby and Cheltenham ; but she has turned out many great cricketers, notably A. G. Steele, prince of all-round men. At the head of the second class cricket schools stand Malvern (fawn, blue, and cerise), Uppingham, Repton 43 E. M. Hall, Cricket Coath. Haverford Meeting House. (magenta and white), and Wellington (light blue and gold), with Haileybury and Westminster following. The first is at the fashionable resort in the Worcestershire hills ; Uppingham lies between Cambridge and Lincoln and Repton near Derby; Wellington is at Wokingham, and Haileybury at Hertford, not far west and north respectively from London; Westminster is the ancient St. Peter ' s College, con- nected with the great Abbey in London (which was itself dedicated originally to .St. Peter). Their plaving ground is Vincent S(iuare, in Chelsea, and they play Charterhouse there and at C.odalming alternately ; their foundation ranks with Winchester and Eton in venerableness. To all of the schools M. C. C. sends down a team each spring, but as their strength varies in the different matches, the results are not conclusive. Haverford ' s visit then, will show the strength of the English schools relatively to each other as it has never been shown before ; on that account alone, there- fore, the trip will be of the greatest interest to all old boys. From persons whose observations make them competent judges, I learn that our team ' s chances are quite even with the best of the team.s they will play, and that they are likely to win a fair share of their matches ; but, says Mr. Gale, all cricket is a game of chance as well as of skill, and especially in changeable English weather. So it ' s not winning matches, but, the play ' s the thing, as Shakespeare tells us. So here ' s luck ! and Haverford forever ! H. C. 4S r. t ■ i %: E T Xi (Ilub ©rcjaiiisation.

It is very difficult for a Haverford cricketer of the present to inform himself, as his duty and desire prompt him to do, about the great deeds of the mighty men of old. The records, meagre and fragmentary, are preserved in no archives, and the renowned actions of the men whose names we still hear spoken, sound sometimes like the myths of an heroic past. Some of them have lel ' t relics of the years in which they toiled, and partly because of the prize ball he left, Johns Congdon ' s name is well known among us. Those who played with Congdon agree in calling him a very good all-round cricketer, and the knowledge of the game which he gathered during his summer in England, in 1867, must have been the main cause of the increased interest in the game shown at Haverford on his return. We are accustomed to hear Congdon spoken of as a bowler, and it was mainly for his bowling that he won his selection for the International Team of 1868 ; but in tlie Haverford history he is more often referred to as a batsman. Josejjh H. Fox, ' 73, did much to revivify Haverford cricket in the early 70 ' s. He is described by one of the men who played under him as a man of tremendous individual power and great magnetism, but with very little material to work upon. He was a first class wicket-keep, a good bowler, and a hard hitting left-hand batsman. He won his games himself, and was regarded as by all means the finest cricketer of his time. In some very interesting reminiscences of Haverford cricket of his time. Fox writes: I do not suppose I should have gone to Haverford if it had not been for its cricket, and it seemed rather hard that during my first two years there, cricket matches witli outside clubs were forbidden. The sanction, however, was granted while Fox was still at college, and he continues : In the spring I remember two matches. The Germantown sent out a strong second eleven, which we beat very easily. I do not like to say that we got them out for eight runs in tlie first inni[ig, but my memory is that that was wliat they made. Ashbridge opened to them and got two wickets in - ' W, H. 1 .ETTLE, ' yd. Secretary. C. R. HiNCHMAN, ' 96. hOUNDKK S Hall — HAVhKHIKU CuLLhl.E. A. F. Coca, ' 96. his first over, which was a maiden. I howled at the other end, and I also got two ; Ashbridge got another in his second over, five wickets down, and no runs. I particularly remember a match played this year with the I ' niversity of Pennsylvania, as the score was tied in the first inning. Ashbridge was captain of the eleven that year, but he could not have been playing on that match, as I had charge of the team. With the score a tie, C ' adbury ( ' 72) was [nit on to bowl. Why this was done, I cannot tell, as he rarely bowled, and was a little more apt to bowl wide than anything else. However, from his first over the batsman popped up an easy fiy, and I called to Gummere ( ' 72) to take it. I can see him now waiting for it, but as the ball came, Jones ( ' 74), as good a fielder as ever played for Haverford, rushed past Gummere, going very fast, and with his hands far from his body, caught the ball maybe a foot from Gummere ' s waiting hands. It was all wrong, but the man was out. We played on, and were able to finish the two innings, beating the University by a narrow margin. After Fox had left college, no stars remained, and the problem was to turn out a winning team with the material at hand. F. H. Taylor ' s elevens of ' 75 and ' 76 proved what can be done by a carefully trained and united team, even though it contain no men of the first ability. The team won every game in ' 76, including Germantown, and Taylor himself has the distinction of scoring the first century made at Haverford — 102, not out — against the Modoc Club. After leaving Haverford, Taylor captained the Harvard team of ' 77, and played in the first game on the Tongwood grounds — well known to the generation of to-day. He represented Cincinnati in the game with Columbus, and afterward played on the second Merion till he became captain of the Haddonfield Club, whose team he has successfully led ever since. The season of ' 76 saw the original presentation of the well-known Cope prize bat. It was on the occasion of the German- town game, and Haverford led in the first innings. F. L. Baily was sent in first in the second innings, with the promise of a bat from Henry Cope, ' 69, if he could bat out time. He stayed at the wicket for over an hour, till the drawing of stumps, for 16 runs, and won the game for his side. Another very good performance of Baily ' s was an innings of 57, played in the last game in which he captained his team. After he left Haverford he played seven or eight years on the Merion ist. His best score was 115 not out against Baltimore, said to be the first century compiled for Merion, and the first century scored on the old grounds at . rdmore. Baily ended the season with the best average in the club, and was selected to play on the American team against Canada. But the largest score he ever compiled was an innings extending over five hours, and yielding 140 runs, played for the Merion veterans against the Germantown veterans — doubtless a record for these games. In recent years Baily has captained the Merion 2d with great 57 A. C. Thomas, ' 95. success. In ' 94 his team won every game, and in ' 95 lost only two, and the captain ended the season with an average of a fraction under 19. Another Haverford captain who led winning teams in the late 70 ' s was E. T. Comfort, whose per- formances with both bat and ball in the famous match between past and present players of Haverford and the University of Pennsylvania stand written on the pages of the Haverford history. Samuel Mason, ' 80, a good bat and first-class wicket-keep, captained the Haverford eleven for two years, and it was during this time that Lowry and Newkirk did such good work in bowling. In the next decade occur the names of some of the best known of Philadelphia cricketers — men who have achieved for themselves a national and even an extra-national reputation. G. S. Patterson, then in his Sophomore year, captained the team of 1886, and did the best season ' s batting seen so far at Haverford. It was through his efforts that the game with the University of Pennsylvania, which was won by one run, was pulled out of the fire. He also played a good innings of 60 against Merion — another very close game, which was lost by two runs. The next year Patterson is found in the ranks of the enemy, and if he often made our batters and bowlers appear to vie with each other in harmlessness, Haverford may at least console herself with the thought that she taught that great cricketer some of his power. Alfred C. Garrett surpassed even Patterson ' s record during 1887, a year, strange to say, of defeats. Garrett was a powerful batsman when at his best, and he will long be remembered by modern Haverford- ians for his rapid hitting in Harvard ' s second inning, which won the game in 1892. Garrett was also a good bowler and won the Congdon prize ball in 1886 (not, however, as the history states, with the btsl average since 1877). ' Phe team was captained in 1888 by J. W. Sharii, Jr. The previous year he had won the bowling prize, and 77; jyaz or( ff« states that his bowling in 1888 was even above his previous high standard. It was his fast bowling that won him his selection as one of the Gentlemen of Philadelphia, who played against the Gentlemen of Ireland — a match which Sharp was unfortunately unable to enter. In June, 1889, Sharp accompanied the same team abroad. He had very little opportunity to display his powers, being only called upon to bowl in three games. He captained the Merion ist last summer, and has been re-elected to the same position for the coming season. During Sharp ' s captaincy at Haverford, H. P. liaily was beginning to make himself felt as a bowler. 5S .4w2j|||rp ' ; ' p - ■ . H C Y r. WlSTAR, ' 98. V. K. Alsop, ' 96, With his captain, Baily seems to have made a very dangerous combination, as the analysis of the two repeatedly testily — witness Baily ' s 12 wickets for 48 runs, against a strong Young America team. But his ]iowers of attack were growing — not without toil, if we are to believe the reports still current of constant practice on the Merion grounds and hours spent in bowling at a spot. But the reward came — and it almost invariably does come to young bowlers who train themselves patiently and carefully — came, if in nothing before or after, in that brilliant performance against the University of Penn- sylvania in 1S90, without doubt the finest piece of bowling in Haverford ' s history. 15 wickets fell before him during the match, for 29 runs ; wickets including those of Patter.son, Bohlen, Thompson, - wN, • Thayer. MacDonald the Australian, and others ; and fell, too, when their stand meant defeat for Haver- j Jf f ' ford. For three consecutive years, ' SS- ' go, Baily won the bowling prize, with averages of 5.4, 5.8, and 6.5, respectively. Since leaving Haverford, Baily has sustained his reputation as one of the best bowlers of the country. In iS8g he accompanied the Philadelphians on their tour in England, won a good word from Grace, and captured the bowling cup offered for the player making the best average. Since then he played upon the Merion team, until the last few years, and was almost invariably effective. Capable of a great amount of work, Baily is an example to all young bowlers, in that he never loses sight of the object for which he is entrusted with the ball, viz., to dislodge the batsman in front of him. even though it may be a costly process. After a gap of several years, Haverford produced a really good batsman in J. W. Muir, who captained the team in 1892. He had beaten Garrett ' s average the previous year, and while the duties of captaincy seem to have affected his play somewhat in 1S92, he earned the lasting esteem of Woodcock, who aUva)s regarded him as one of the best batsmen in this or any country. Many were the matches in which Muir was the only batsman to score at all freely : and, at the same time, he was called upon for a large share of the bowling. Muir has throughout his cricketing life been identified with Belmont, but yet, while meeting with consistent success for that club, he never enjoyed the game so much as he enjoyed it at Haverford. He has taken part in more than one international match, and has generally been successful both with bat and ball. C. J. Rhoads, entirely a production of Haverford cricket training, captained a very good team in 1893. Entering Haverford with no knowledge of the game, and graduating successfully from the different cricket teams, he shows what can be done by patient work. 59 His best batting for Haverford was BAKI 1 AV llAII., done in the ' 92 and ' 93 matches against the Ihiiversity of Pennsylvania, in the latter of which he played an admirable innings of 61. But Rhoads ' value to his side is very far from being gauged by the scores he made for it. He had gathered from many sources a full and accurate knowledge of the game, and as a captain was not far from the ideal. He knew how the duties of a cricket captain differ from those of a foot ball captain, and how to manage his men on the field without show or bluster. He was perhaps rather reluctant in l)owling himself I believe, indeed, that he only twice got even so far as to threaten to put himself on, and there were one or two occasions when he might have helped his side out of difficulties. Rhoads has played for Merion since leaving college, and has from time to time compiled creditable scores. The ne. t year ' s team was captained by one of the few men who have entered Haverford with previous cricket training. S. W. Morris was a member of the ' 91 school team of St. Paul ' s, in Concord, N. H. He did some good batting under Rhoads, playing a fine innings of about sixty against his old school. His batting during his year of captaincy fell off considerably; Ijut Morris was always a brilliant field, and in a year of exceptionally poor batting, the fielding and bowling were generally good. George Lippincott captained the team of ' 95, which re-captured the Intercollegiate cup lost in the preceding year. Lippincott ' s team was not so strong in batting as Rhoads ' team, and no better in bowling; and he did well to get such good results from the men at his disposal. Lippincott himself was a fearless bat, and knocked up several scores when they were badly needed. His left hand bowling came in well in some matches, and he used it with discretion. Until last summer he has always played with one or other of the Germantown teams, and in ' 93 playing a good innings of 52 for the first. Last year he played regu- larly with the Philadelphia club, and was successful with ball and bat. Lippincott was one of Haverford ' s representatives in the Intercollegiate match last year against Canada. 6x I ' liotot-nMihf ' l liv W. J.

John Ashbv Lester, the Captain of this year ' s team, while not unacquainted with the game when he entered Haverford, learned most of his cricket under Woodcock. He won the Cope Prize Bat three years in succession with good averages, and also the Intercollegiate Bat, given for the best average in the Intercollegiate series. He has played for Merion, Wayne, and St. David ' s during the long vacation with success. Dour:L. s Howe Adams will jilay his third season with the college team. He is a Belmont C. C. man, making the highest average for the Juniors of that club during his Freshman year. Perhaps his best performance since his Haverford training was his score of 74, made with the Professionals vs. Gentlemen in summer of 1894, though he has topped the century once since that time. Adams bowls right hand with at times a good break-back. Ch.ari.es Henry Howson has played on the team since he entered college. He is an enthusiastic cricketer, and his summer play at Wayne, under the eyes of Braithwaite and Hall, has gone far to make him a finished bat. He kept wicket during his Freshman year, but has since turned his attention mainly to batting. He is seen at his best on a hard wicket. Ch. rles Russell Hinchm. ' n is an old l niversity of Pennsylvania man and a member of the Belmont Club, where he made a good record as a bowler. Last year he was second in the college averages. He i ' a free batsman, and did excepjlionally well for his college last year. He has been very useful as a bowler, having a sharp break-back and out-curve. Last year he proved himself a reliable outfielder. Archer B. Mifflin is a new man at college this year, but is too well known to Philadelphia cricketers to need much introduction. He has heretofore played as a member of the Wayne and Merion C. C, and made an enviable record in all branches of the game. His batting averages have been con- sistently high, and he has several times topped the century. His highest score was made last year, vs. Brooklyn Incogniti, 145. At the same time he has done very well with his fast bowling. William Kite Alsop is a left-hand bowler with considerable sjjeed and break who has shown wonderful development during the last two years. He has trained himself carefullv. and has already shown what improvement can be made in a year by careful practice. 63 A. B. Mifflin, Haverford CoLLtt-fc GLiiE Cluh. Ph ' itngniphftl by iiilberl k Usican. 1,. HoixiNcswoRTH WooD played all last season with the eleven, as did Alsop. When at his best he is a strong bat, and plays a safe game anywhere in the deep field. He has already shown improvement over last year ' s form. A. F. Coca has made rapid strides during the winter. He made a big score on the second eleven last year, hits vigorously on the off, and if he can develop into a quick and reliable field will make a really good cricketer. A. C. Thomas played one game with the first eleven last year, and has developed fast during the winter. He is a fair bowler and a run-getting batsman, winning the second eleven bat with an average of over 21. His best score was 64. Thomas Wistar played one game with the first eleven last year. He has claimed attention because of his good defense and utility as a wicket-keeper and slow bowler, and has shown very good form in the games played this season. Joseph Henry Scattergood played for the first time last season, filling the jjosition of wicket- keeper in the majority of the games. He is much improved in his style behind the wickets this year, and has the making of a really good stumper. As a batsman Scattergood is a strong hitler. Charles G. Tatnall played base-ball till he entered college last fall, b it since that time, by con- scientious work, he has made himself a strong candidate for a place on the eleven. He keeps wicket in good style, is a sure field, and bowls fast. Alfred M. Collins is a left-hand batsman who made a good record last year on the third eleven. He has developed with great rapidity, and is much improved in fielding. Arthur Haines is a fast and safe ouifielder, covering a large amount of ground. His batting is improving. a. m. colmns. 97. liJ m. %mmm£ 7M Ml Ifir t Eleven (Baiiies. TOavtnc. E. M. Hall. I. b. w., b. Alsop 9 E. M. Cregar. c. Thomas, b. Hinchman, 25 H. C. Hunter, b. Alsop C.

Tlie second game of the series for the Intercollegiate Cricket championship was played at Haverford on May 23d, between Harvard and Haverford. The game resulted in an easy victory for the home team, to the evident satisfaction of a large gathering of the Alumni and friends of the college. Harvard barely escaped a one-innings defeat. C. H.
