...wretched exhibition of ball playing of last Saturday the game which the nine put up yesterday was a surprise and a relief to every one. It showed that when forced to it Harvard can play good ball.

Highlands pitched a good cool game, allowing but three men bases on balls and keeping Princeton down to seven scattered hits. His base running in the fifth inning was one of the features of the game.

The freshmen showed more knowledge of the game a week before than the 'varsity did on Saturday. Not for years, at the shortest...
...large part of the defeat was due to the pitching of Gregory who was weak and wild, and it was owing to Scott's good work behind the bat that Brown did not have a larger score...
