...league will be so great that it will be impossible for each eleven to play every other one, consequently the matches will be arranged as games in a tennis tournament. Each school will draw for its opponent, and the defeated one shall drop from the contest. An attempt will be made to arrange a match between the winner of the Exeter-Andover game...
Harvard went first to the bat and scored at once on Gallivan's hit for three bases to right field, and Ames' muff of Dana's throw on an attempt to cut him off at the plate.

Willard was put out in an attempt to steal second and Henshaw fouled out to Ames. For Princeton, Watt's made a hit, stole second but was left there by the weak batting of the next three...
