...batting, fielding and base running, but the score of 13 to 2 was needlessly large, and had the freshmen put up even their average game they could have made the contest much closer. In the second inning for example, after two men had struck out, Whittemore made a bad throw of an easy grounder and allowed the batter to reach first base. Then McAdams aided Yale by one of his three pass balls and shortly afterward made a wild throw. Dreyfus in the left field had by this time caught the spirit of demoralization and fumbled...
