...team showed up in greatly superior physical condition to their opponents. Not a single Yale man was put out of the game, and the men as a whole were playing as fast a game at the close of the contest as at any time during the play. In marked contrast, four of Princeton's best men were forced to retire, and when time was called the line was slowly giving way before Yale's fierce attack...
...even with this unexpected force against them, Harvard's forwards should still have carried the preponderance in their favor. As it was, the line almost to a man played football hardly consistent with their ability, and not one man exceeded his past capabilities, a fact brought out in glaring contrast to the work of the Yale line. The Harvard team undoubtedly had underestimated Yale's defensive strength, and it is also probable that Yale considered Harvard's defensive stronger than it was. It was just this one factor that prevented Harvard from scoring. Taken by surprise on both sides, Yale...

Both nines batted well, but here '97 was much the stronger, getting thirteen hits to '98's seven, five of which were made in the first inning. Most of '98's runs outside of the first inning were made on bases on balls and errors. The best individual playing for '98 was done by Edmunds and Haskell, although Hayes pitched a steady game, striking out ten men. Field led the batting list for both teams with two singles and a triple. The star play of the day was a beautiful...
