...three runs that put the visiting first year men within striking distance of a victory. A considerable crowd had collected from the main contest, which had just finished, to see Barbee turn back the first two men who appeared in this inning and then send the third to first base on balls. The next man up got a single followed by a double from the bat of Phillips, accounting for two scores. Johnson, the next Purple man, got a single letting in Phillips but was thrown out himself at second on the next play...
Bjorkman, captain of both the football and baseball teams at the Hanover institution, once more proved a prominent factor in the series of Dartmouth triumphs over the Crimson. With two out, and with two on base, Bjorkman let two strikes sail by. Then picking a curve ball which broke fairly over the plate, he pushed a fast ground ball down the third base line outside Zarakov. The ball took a bad hop past Todd in the outfield, and before the Crimson outfielder could retrieve the ball. Harris had scored from first with the winning tally for Coach Tesreau's outfit...
Dartmouth was put in a position to score in the ninth when Owl, Indian second sacker, reached first base when Ullman booted a ground ball. Hudgins advanced Owl with a perfect bunt, which only excellent fielding by Spalding prevented from becoming a safety. Elliot lifted a long fly to Rogers in center field for the second out, and the stage was set for Bjorkman's sensational drive...

Moran had tripled in the second inning, giving the New Hampshire nine a two run lead, and Barbee, the twirling ace of the Harvard Freshmen, had been slightly spiked in covering first base in the next inning and had been forced to retire. Linscott replaced him in the box against his former Alma Mater and, although another run slipped across in the seventh frame, he had control of the situation at all times, striking out eight men in the six innings...
...Crimson scoring began in the seventh when Ford singled with two men on base, both of whom scored, tying up the game. In the next inning. Chauncey got three bases on a long clout and scored on Nordberg's single. A moment later, Captain Jones added three more runs with a long four-ply hit. Jones, Linscott, and Chauncey, with two hits apiece, were the most effective of the Freshmen on the offense...
