...Harvard Eleven went first to the bat, and scored but 30 against the excellent bowling of O'Hair and Pettit. Hubbard led the score with 17, made by first-rate batting. When our Eleven took the field the "crease" was already badly cut up by the first innings' play, and the fine bowling of Jones and Gummere lost much of its value in consequence. One of the substitutes muffed Sullivan badly before he had made a single run, or the Mayflowers would have scored less than they did. Two muffs, also, were made by a veteran, usually the surest catch...
...witnessed by a large crowd of spectators, chiefly Yale students, who seemed, to judge by their applause, much pleased at our errors, Besides one or two noticeable features, there is little to say about the game. Thatcher's play behind the bat was excellent, as was Hooper's pitching. Tyng batted well, and made a beautiful one-hand stop in the ninth innings.

Last season this association was only in its promising infancy, but now comes before us as an organization ready to do a manly work in supplementing the physical culture of bat and oar. If the true end of such culture was that which the Greek sought, - the symmetrical and harmonious development of every part of the body - then our Athletic Association is destined, as the ideal of physical culture rises, to lead the van of all our societies devoted...
...Harvard Eleven went in first, and scored 53, the same number they made against the Bostons in the Spring. After a short pause the Bostons took the bat, and made 130. The game was decided by the result of these innings...
