Harvard had no difficulty in defeating Andover in a seven-inning game on Saturday. The cold, raw wind hampered the players considerably, and in consequence there were several excusable errors. But on the whole, as far as Harvard was concerned, the game was well played and lively. The best work was done by Captain Whittemore, Scannell and Garrison. Whittemore at short covered much ground and made several beautiful stops. Scannell supported the rather variable pitching of Paine and Highlands in good form, and did great work at the bat, having four hits, with a total of six, to his credit...
...Andover Barnes at short played by far the best game of the afternoon. His fielding was sharp and effective, and he has to his credit seven assists and two put-outs with but one error. Drew caught Sedgwick's rather wild delivery very well, but the rest of the nine played in poor form...

Whittemore flied out to Barnes. Winslow then hit to right field who missed the ball. Andover got rattled and three runs were made in short order before the ball got back to the diamond...

Arbuthnot got his base on Winslow's error and scored on Highlands' very wild throw of Rustin's grounder, the latter reaching third on the same play. Murphy went out on a grounder to Highlands. Case sent out a long fly to Wiggin which brought Rustin home. Carter was out on a fly to left field. Harvard did little. Whittemore got to first on balls, stole second and got third on a passed ball. Cook sent up a fly to Stephenson and Dickinson struck out. Paine struck at two balls and then Whittemore, thinking the umpire had called the third...
