Stillman pitched a steady game up to the sixth inning, allowing one hit and one base on balls. In the last inning, however, he let up and Exeter made three singles and one two-base hit, thus scoring two runs. Stillman's work at the bat was discouraging; he struck out twice when runs were most needed, once with the bases full and again with men on second and third. Daly at shortstop made the only error for Harvard. Randall was slow in covering his base and did not handle ground balls properly. Kernan allowed Exeter one stolen base...

Randall was tried at first base and Wendell went to left field. Randall covered first base adequately, but was a little awkward in receiving throws that drew him off the bag to any extent.

Only four hits were made, and eight men struck out. With one exception, the first man to come to the bat in each inning failed to reach first base. The work in the field was no better than the batting; fumbles and inaccurate throwing resulting in ten errors, against two made by Bates. Harvard did all her scoring in the first two innings, only one man reaching...
