...encouraging to see the interest in field sports which this school has always been famous for. The "Eleven" is unusually good this year, and under its able captain is playing a wonderfully strong game...
...value in consequence. One of the substitutes muffed Sullivan badly before he had made a single run, or the Mayflowers would have scored less than they did. Two muffs, also, were made by a veteran, usually the surest catch on the Eleven. Tapper and Harris, however, made good catches, and Lee as wicket keep and Bruce as long stop were very efficient. In their second innings, although the "crease" had been rolled, much to the benefit of their adversary's bowling, our Eleven scored 36.

At no time during the game did they allow an opportunity to slip of applauding any good plays we made, and of silencing any attempt on the part of those not connected with the college from cheering our errors. Their politeness in showing us their beautiful buildings and grounds, and their good-natured manner of taking their defeat, only served to promote the good feeling between Princeton and Harvard, and we take this occasion of offering, through these columns, our most hearty thanks...
