Yesterday afternoon the 'Varsity nine was defeated by the College team in a game of nine innings by a score of 7-5. The score stood even at the beginning of the eighth inning when the College nine went to bat. Hits by Maguire and Galbraith and a poor throw by Pote to Haughton then enabled the College nine to score twice. In the last two innings, but six men batted for the 'Varsity, A.

...Varsity played a remarkably steady fielding game. In the second inning, Laughlin, Haughton and McCornick made a neat double play, when Foster hit to Laughlin with Sears on first. Clark seemed to be a little off his form, although he reached first four times out of six at bat, three time on hits.

...playing of the 'Varsity throughout the game was for the most part loose and erratic. Laughlin, Clark and Haughton all did fair work, but McCornick who was again tried at first was accountable for several costly errors. Behind the bat, Pote was decidedly off in his throwing, but on the other hand did some clever work in handling thrown balls. He also showed up well in the batting, getting two of the 'Varsity's six hits. Rand made one pretty hit for three bases over Davis's head in right, probably the longest hit made on Holmes Field this season...
...short, there is no man who combines the qualities of fielding and batting to the extent that these men do. Cropley, G. Putnam and Coolidge are all fairly sure in handling batted balls, but all are rather uncertain at the bat...
