...nine was deprived of the services of Captain Willard, who was away, but McKean '90, who covered first base in his stead, played a very creditable game both at the bat and in the field. The home team played remarkably well in the field. The out fielders were slow in fielding the ball in, but the work of the infield was good. Much of the credit of winning the game belongs to Downer, who struck out fourteen men. At times he seemed to lose partial control of the ball, but he was finely supported by Henshaw throughout the whole game...
...Harvard got fifteen with a total of nineteen off the Hartvord pitcher. He was a little wild and gave six men first on called balls, but on the other hand he struck out six.

The freshmen played poorly and the team will have to improve greatly if they wish to make any showing in the other class games or with Yale Ninety-two. Churchill pitched a slow ball and the opposing team hit him heavily. Bell caught well but his throwing to second was poor owing to a sore arm. Carpenter did well at first base. Wrenn at second, and Brown at third both performed creditable work. The batting of the whole team was deplorably weak. Appended...
