...sacrifice by Quackenboss. Knowlton reached first on L. Price's wild throw, went to third on the same error, and scored on Henshaw's sacrifice, Williard in the meantime striking out. Gallivan got to first on an error of second, but was thrown out by Ames in an attempt to stead second. For Princeton, Durell drove a liner to centre which was nicely taken in by Howland.

...Overseers wish to confine our intercollegiate contests to those with Yale alone; but do they imagine that our teams, lacking practice and lacking spirit, can do much against a well-trained, practiced team from New Haven? It may be the wisest policy for our governing bodies to attempt to antagonize the students, but it is not in accordance with the spirit which has prevailed here in the last two decades, and it is subjecting the welfare of Harvard University to a great and imminent risk...

...their playing shows the result of such training; we are simply influenced by the desire to fight upon an equal basis with our opponents. Public opinion here at Harvard is still too strong to be disregarded; and every man in college knows what Harvard would think of a deliberate attempt to learn "tricks" on the part of the nine. Among other things, Mr. "X" says (in the columns of the Advocate) that playing with professionals "will not make the games a whit more interesting to players or spectators."
