Entering Harvard in 1887, be at once brought the college team well in the front rank and himself made a brilliant record. He went in first in the Harvard-Longwood match, and carried his bat all through the inning for 61; duplicated this feat the following week against the Mystics for 39 runs; at the end of the spring term, had the magnificent average of 59.50, and his average for the year was: 6 inning, twice not out 149 runs, average 37.25. His bowling average the same year reads: 336 balls, 15 maidens, 23 wickets, 90 runs-average...
This year he has made several fine scores, his 47 for Harvard vs. Longwood being a splendid inning. Going in first, he was last man out, his inning being a fine display of first-class batting, and he played perfect cricket all through. So far this season he has played eight innings, 1 not out, made 151 runs, which shows a average...
...game yesterday was exceedingly close, and was lost to Harvard through her inability to hit the ball, and from costly errors made at critical points. The home team obtained a fine lead in the first inning, but after that but one run was made. Princeton undiscouraged by Harvard's lead played a sure and steady game straight through, and well earned the game. She fairly outdid Harvard, batting stronger, and fielding almost perfectly. Harvard's batting, except in the first inning, was very weak, and her field work lacked snap. The men seemed to be satisfied with the lead obtained...
...outfielders were sure catchers. Ames was down on the score card to pitch, but Young, the freshman pitcher took his place. He gave seven bases on balls, but his general work was very good. He kept his head well, allowing Harvard to bunch her hits only in the first inning. He made several wild pitches however, which let in runs. Princeton did not have very much difficulty in hitting Hawley after the fourth inning. Henshaw supported him well except in his throwing to bases which was weak. Harvard's outfielders were slow to start for the balls, and several hits...
...Willard's single. Howland got his base on balls, reached third on Willard's hit and came in on Henshaw's single. Willard got home on a wild pitch, and Henshaw crossed the plate on the hit of Corning, who was left on third base. In the second inning Knickerbocker made a hit, and Brokaw hit a long fly to right field, of which Linn made an excusable muff. They were both left on bases, however. Dean struck out, Linn was out at second, after getting his base on balls, and Howland flied out to Durell. Watts opened the third...
