Both the Harvard and Yale teams have proved in general skillful in fielding, but uncertain at bat, though both have in certain games hit effectively. In the pitching the advantage should be with Harvard, for Clarkson's experience should count greatly in his favor...
...addition to head-coach Wendell, A.V. Galbraith '99 and G.P. Milne '01, were on the field. After the usual batting work the remainder of the afternoon was devoted to fielding practice with men on bases.
