...Nine played the first game with Yale at New Haven, last Saturday, and were easily defeated by a score of 21 to 4, - a defeat more severe than the Harvard Nine has ever suffered from our old opponents. The game was won not so much by errors on our side as by the heavy batting of Yale. Shattuck's delivery did not seem to present any difficulty to the Yale Nine, and the ball was pounded all over the field.
