...Yale team is fairly well developed and has several good individual players both in the field and at bat. As a team, however, their batting is weak, and the work of the infield, with the exception of Carter at third base, is inaccurate. In the outfield the playing is good...
...ability to hit safely at timely moments, and through the effectiveness of Bowman and Patton in the box. In the Princeton series, Georgetown won one game, 6 to 5, and lost the other, 8 to 6. The greatest weakness of the team has been their inability to bat effectively with men on bases...
Since the Princeton game, the University nine has overcome many of its most glaring defects.

Although unreliable, the batting has lately shown some improvement, especially at critical times. A tendency to hit too hard, and strike at bad balls has been in evidence. But with persistent coaching, these faults are being gradually overcome. R. Kernan is doing good work behind the bat, having shown marked improvement both in catching pitched balls and foul flies...

St. Mark's played a loose, unsteady game, with little team work, a fact partly accounted for, perhaps, by the absence of their captain. Their chief weakness was at the bat; they fielded fairly well...
