...cricket team defeated the Brockton Cricket Club on Saturday by a score of 76 to 33. Brockton played well in the field despite the fact that this was their first game; but they were weak at the bat. Harvard did especially, encouraging work in the field, and the bowling of Hinchman, Mifflin and Chew was strong. The team met an effective bowler in Luckman of Brockton and the stands were short except in the cases of Fairweather, Justice and Mather, who got double figures...

Harvard did well in the field, except for Story's wild throw and Coolidge's failure to field a ground ball; but the showing at the bat was not satisfactory. Most of the men were unable to hit reliably with men on bases, and the base running was slow and stupid. Reid and Frantz, however, showed good judgment in this respect. Reid, Stillman and Frantz hit hard and well, and were responsible for three of the runs...
