...Warland was generally steadier and superior at the net. After the first set, in which both players were somewhat erratic. Blagden settled down and easily won the second, 6-2. Warland then quickly took the third set at 6-2.

...University nine defeated the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday at Philadelphia by a score of 8 to 5, in the hardest fought game this year.

Pennsylvania held the lead up to the fifth inning, was one run ahead in the seventh, but failed to score again; Harvard won by scoring two runs in both the eighth and the ninth innings...
