...last event, except the final pull of the tug-of-war, already described, was the final heat...
...innings two of our nine were declared out for running out of the three-foot line to first. Brown played a sharp fielding game, Doron, Seagrave and Wadsworth leading. Seagrave made a superb catch of a long fly in the seventh. They failed to hit Vinslow to any extent except in the fifth inning, when they batted him all over the field. Durfee, Shedd and Clark led the batting. Harvard played a fair game in the field. Allen played superbly, and Coolidge and LeMoyne did well.

In view of the promised excitement in the contest between these three colleges, and the success which we may expect for Harvard, it might be well for some understanding to exist between the faculty and students in regard to the manner of conducting future celebrations...
