...Harvard team played pluckily an up hill game and kept up heart till the last. Harvards's errors were very costly. Twice wild throws let in three unearned runs. These unexcusable errors, however, were confined to one or two men on the team, and the others played well straight through. There is one point, nevertheless, in which the nine must make vast improvement if they hope to make a creditable showing. We refer to the batting, which was deplorably weak.

After some long throws by both teams, Princeton by good passing worked the ball down to Harvard's end of the field and Browning made the second goal for Princeton. After the ball had been drawn off, Blodgett...
