[R] calling objects in a foreloop

[Benjamin M. Osborne]

I want to organize outputs from several regressions into a handy table.  When I
try the following, each of my "fit_s" is replaces instead of read.  Is there a
way to read from the regression summaries that does not require writing
separate lines of code for each?

> fit1<-lm(dBA.spp16$sp2.dBA.ha~dBA.spp16$sp1.dBA.ha)
> fit2<-lm(dBA.spp16$sp3.dBA.ha~dBA.spp16$sp1.dBA.ha)
> fit3<-lm(dBA.spp16$sp3.dBA.ha~dBA.spp16$sp2.dBA.ha)
