The 'varsity nine played only two games during the recess, one with Dartmouth on Thursday and the other with Tufts on Saturday. In both games Harvard was defeated. The game which was to have been played with Dartmouth in Hanover was cancelled on account of the failure of the Harvard nine to make the railroad connections.

The game on Thursday was played in Manchester and was close and exciting.

The Harvard team played in very hard luck; their fielding was generally good and their batting hard, but Dartmouth's few hits all counted for runs. For Harvard, Winslow and Stevenson played well in the infield while Hayes made some good catches. Highlands pitched a steady and effective game and Scannell caught him well. For Dartmouth the battery did excellent work and McCormack made two home runs. The score:

DARTMOUTH.
