...they were wholly unable to bat successfully. The base-running was careless and slow, and the throwing, especially that of Quigley, exceedingly wild. In the outfield the men were slow in starting, weak in throwing and showed poor judgement, while team work was almost wholly lacking in the infield. After making due allowance for poor support, Taylor's pitching was disappointing, as Dean hit him almost at will. Nichols played well at first base. The Dean team was, as a whole, fairly strong in all departments of the game, and their batting was especially notable. Greene pitched a good game...
...Brown and Cornell games. He not only struck out fourteen men and gave but one hit, but throughout the game, allowed but one man to reach third base and only two to reach second. R. Kernan caught steadily and made two brilliant catches of foul flies. The infield was hardly tried out to any extent but with the exception of an error by Randall, the few chances that were offered were accepted cleanly and accurately...

Although the Freshmen won by so large a score, their work on the whole was not very encouraging, as the fielding, especially that of the infield, was inaccurate, the baserunning very erratic and the bunting a failure when needed. In the outfield also the men were still slow in starting. At bat, however, there was encouraging improvement, and the throwing was also better. Except for the three bases on balls which he allowed, Burns pitched a fairly good game and showed...
Both Devlin and Groves pitched a steady game, holding the University team down to seven hits. Neither one, however, had enough speed to excuse the weak batting on Harvard's part. A bad tendency to hit at the first ball was evident, resulting in high flies or easy infield grounders...
...Freshman baseball nine will play St. Mark's School at Southboro, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Since the Groton game, the Freshman team has shown a general improvement in batting, bunting, and base-running, but the faults of inaccuracy in the infield and slowness in the outfield have not been corrected. The St. Mark's team is strong this year, although it has lost the larger proportion of the games played, partly on account of the absence of Pinckard, the team's best pitcher, who will pitch today. A hard game is therefore expected...
