...Harvard infield is a fair one. Potter at second is the most valuable man. McLaughlin and Hicks, interchanging at first, are both very reliable at the position. Lanigan is playing a good game at third base and his batting is better now than it was at the opening of the season. Marshall and Carr had an even competition for shortstop, and Marshall has won out by his cleaner fielding, though he is weak at the bat. Young has caught very well through the season, but in the last few games has shown the strain that the position makes...

He struck out seven men, allowed but three hits, and gave four bases on balls, but his work in the box was good on the whole and three of the four hits were due to bad bounds on infield balls. Except in the fourth inning, when it rained, Freeman was very effective for Yale. Philbin injured his ankle again running to first base and was forced to retire...
Young will be given a rest today and H. E. Reeves, substitute catcher, will be given his first chance in the game. Chase will replace Minot in right field. The former has made a good showing both in the infield and outfield on the second team, and has batted well, while with with one or two exceptions Minot has done nothing at the bat for some time and is liable to errors in his outfield play...
...throw to second. Another throw to second in an attempt to prevent Marshall from stealing resulted in another error, this one by Norton, who failed to get the short throw from the catcher, and Lanigan scored before the ball was recovered. Young and Babson closed the inning by hitting infield grounders, and Marshall was left at third...
...third inning Marshall was out on a grounder, but Young, Babson, Rogers, and McLaughlin in succession hit safely, scoring two runs. Rogers's hit was another infield grounder, which he beat out to first base though it was handled cleanly by the Cornell players...
