...hitting on both teams was light, but the poor condition of the field effected especially the University infield, which made four errors. L. B. Evans '20 injured his ankle in the first inning, when sliding to third base. R. Hoffman '19 replaced him in centre field...
...crucial moment. Twice players were caught off base by the pitcher. Peirson, who, with Gammack formed the University battery, held Portland to four safeties and might have scored a shut-out except for poor support. Wolverton, who replaced Captain Gross at shortstop, played an excellent game in the infield, accepting six chances without error.

An already strong infield of L. P. Jones '19, J. B. Wolverton '20 and R. E. Gross '19, at first, second and shortstop, respectively, has been further strengthened by R. P. Hallowell '20, at third...
