...playing this year the team began the season with no great success, and has met defeat five times. Since the Pennsylvania game however, the team has shown steady improvement. In the box, both stevens last year's pitcher, and Underhill are doing very steady work; and at the bat, the entire team has lately shown improvement. Every indication points therefore to a very close game today...
...whole, the University team has improved in standing up at the bat, but the men are apt to hit at bad balls, and easily get discouraged. The bunting is still weak, and the base-running lacks head work; while the fielding, although fast is at times unsteady...

Kernana and Carr then singled successively each bringing in a run, and raising the score to a total of 3-0. An error by Coffin in the sixth allowed Carr to reach second, from where he scored on Harvey...

Their fielding as shown by fourteen errors, was wretched, and they were wholly unable to bat successfully. The base-running was careless and slow, and the throwing, especially that of Quigley, exceedingly wild. In the outfield the men were slow in starting, weak in throwing and showed poor judgement, while team work was almost wholly lacking in the infield. After making due allowance for poor support...
