Yale confidently expected that their nine would win on Saturday, as the following from a Yale paper, shows: "As this is our first game with Harvard which counts for the championship it is of especial interest. From the result of the exhibition game at Cambridge we can be reasonably confident of the result of today's game, still a glance at the score of the exhibition game will show that a little more luck in bunching the hits by Harvard would have altered the score materially. A close game may be expected, and all who can, should go and give...

In the Harvard attack, the throwing for goal did not seem to be accurate enough, several chance being lost...

...freshmen are certainly to be congratulated on the improvement which they showed in their playing on Thursday over that in their game at Andover. The fielding was steady and would be creditable for any nine. The pitching was very careful and effective, and the catcher backed it up very well. Had it not been for a slip in the last inning, the Brown men would have gone home blanked in every inning. Let us hope that, in the game today, when they play the Brown freshmen on their own grounds, they will show up as well, and come home victorious...
