...fielding of the University team was excellent. Simons made a beautiful one-hand stop of a high bounder, which was going over second, and threw to first, retiring the side in the third inning. He also accepted seven chances without an error. Aronson made a good running catch of Caldwell's line drive in the sixth inning close to the foul line...
...race between the Freshman and Cornell 1912 eights, Harvard was easily defeated by four lengths. Towards the end of the race the blade work of the Harvard crew became ragged, and the men were very slow in getting their oars into the water at the catch. Although Harvard was the first to take the lead at the start, the Cornell freshmen were ahead at the quarter-mile mark, and from this point on increased their lead steadily...
...Both teams were in their best form. No score was made in the first three innings but the Bush Leaguers appeared superior from the start and in the fourth inning made the first run and retained the lead throughout the game. The Baby Dolls made a final attempt to catch up in the last two innings. The feature of the game was the pitching of Long for the Bush Leaguers and of Cooper for the Baby Dolls...

MacLaughlin and Simons were very fast around second base, and Dillon and Reed also covered much ground. Dana made a fine running catch of a foul fly. Briggs played a splendid game on first base in spite of a severe blow on the head in the third inning, when Myers collided with him as he stepped into the baseline to stop a wide throw from Hicks. Lanigan was a little unsteady in the eighth...

Ballin attempted to sacrifice, but Lanigan fielded the bunt to MacLaughlin, who made a beautiful stop and Dillon was forced at second. Ballin promptly stole, second on Currier's high throw, and Simons's wonderful catch was the only thing that prevented his taking another base. Hicks then passed Dawson, and Sides was at bat with only one out. A foul fly to Briggs, however, changed the aspect, and Princeton's hopes, were ended when Harvey made a fast play off Warwick's line...
