...played on Holmes field yesterday afternoon between the Harvard and Yale freshman nines. Harvard won through her superior work at the bat. The game was anybody's until the last man was out; at times the excitement was intense as first one side and then the other gained the lead. Harvard played well at the critical points, but at other times her work in the field was careless. She batted well straight through, but failed to bunch her hits very successfully.

In the first part of the game Wood was pounded unmercifully, and numerous errors on the part of almost every Harvard fielder gave Amherst a tremendous lead. After the fourth inning Harvard braced and kept Amherst well down, and batted strongly herself. The game was lost, however, long before the end of the game...
Half-mile run-E. B. Hinckley '89, time 2 minutes, 3 seconds; E. P. Holton '90, second by two inches. The finish was very exciting. Hinckley ran the first quarter in 58 seconds, taking a lead of twenty yards, but on the home stretch he tired badly, and Holton would have beaten him out in two strides further...
