...developed many bad faults; the men rushed the recover and hung badly at both ends of the stroke, they slumped on the finish, their time was poor, and they failed to get in their weight. It can not be expected that a freshman crew will row in anything like perfect form; but after making due allowance for this, the outlook was discouraging. The men seemed to work hard and conscienciously without making much improvement...
Winslow pitched a perfect game, giving not a man a base on balls, having no wild pitches, and holding his opponents down to a single hit. Smith's work at second was brilliant, and he also led the nine in batting. Nichols played splendidly at first. For Wiliams, Eastman caught finely, and Tuch pitched effectively. Burden did good work at second...
...played of the class games this spring. A strong west wind blew directly up the field, which accounts for the fact that all the base hits were singles. The fielding on both sides was very sharp, especially that of eighty-six, who, outside of the battery, played an almost perfect game. Palmer and Austin alternated every two innings in pitching for the freshmen, although Austin took Palmer's place in the ninth after five successive hits had been made off the latter. For eighty-six, Gardner, Rankin and Collins did the best work in the fleld, and for eighty-eight...

This inning was marked by a beautiful one-hand running catch, followed by a perfect throw, by Edgerly.

For Princeton, Toler reached first on an error by Edgerly, and went around to third on a put-out and a wild pitch, only to be left...
...interesting throughout, and would have been remarkaly free from errors had it not been for the rain. The battery work of Harvard was magnificent, Nichols only having one wild pitch, while Allen was not credited with a single passed balls. Willard's batting was terrific, while his fielding was perfect. The main points of crificism against the home team were the careless base running, and lax coaching. For Princeton, Clark led at the bat, and Toler and Shaw excelled in fielding. The features of the game were the stop and throw by Edgerly in the third, Allen's foul catch...
