HARVARD '96 VS. M. I. T. '96.The freshmen could not get through a season, without showing the same tendency to lose their heads, that seems to accompany every freshman nine. They were beaten yesterday by the M. I. T. '96, without any excuse for the defeat. The score was eight to four and in every case, the Tech. scores were made by men who had reached first either on errors or on bases on balls. Ninety-six also batted poorly, getting only four hits off Dakin, though one of these was a home run by Winslow, Nearly all the work was done by Worden, Griffin and O'Malley, Worden struck out fifteen men, and his record would have been very good, if he had not been unsteady at critical moments. Dakin struck out nine men. The game yesterday was in a way a good thing for the nine, for the attempts, all too often successful, to "rattle" them, gave them a lesson in the way of what they must expect at an exciting point in a game with Princeton. The most inexecusable thing was their base-running. With two men on bases in the ninth, they failed to score because too careless in stealing to third. They should have better instruction on this point and should be taught to keep their heads.
