...greatest weakness of the nine is at the bat, where timely hits are often lacking. The infield is capable, but not always reliable and steady. Hamlen at first base and Bennett at short stop have been playing a careful game, however, and should be able to strengthen the team at critical times. The outfield is fairly sure and backs up the infield in good form, but is not accurate. Alexander at pitcher is very effective and puts a good deal of spirit into the playing of the team. His coolness is his most valuable quality. The batting orders: Harvard...
...University nine defeated Exeter at Exeter yesterday, 8 to 1, in a game characterized by very faulty fielding. Harvard's three errors were all inexcusable, and besides these several chances were lost by slow and inaccurate handling of the ball. At the bat the team was unable to make many hits, and in spite of slow pitching only three men batted consistently. What hitting was done, however, was hard and timely. The base running showed too much hesitancy, which would have been costly against a good team. Harvard's playing was, on the whole, a decided slump from the showing...
...inning, but after that steadied down somewhat. He was hit for only three singles, and struck out eight men. Kernan misjudged three high fouls, but otherwise he showed some improvement. Except in one instance he threw to bases well, and held pitched balls reliably. Frantz was weak at the bat, partly because of swinging too hard. He fielded faultlessly. Clark made a costly error but he covered plenty of ground and made two opportune hits. George, who has been prevented from playing until recently by his work in the Medical School, played all though the game for the first time...

Movius, c.f. r.f., Dana. Wood, 2b. s.s., Bennett. Lovering, 1b. 3b., Fischel. Rowley, 3b. p., Hutchinson...
Haverford started in at the bat with the brilliant hitting of C. C. Morris, who stood with Wood and then with Patton. Several chances were missed by Fairweather, Tyng and Moore in the field, but Mather's excellent work at the wickets was a redeeming feature of the last part of the game. Stumps were drawn at 4 o'clock in a pouring rain with only four wickets down. The summary follows: HARVARD. Hinchman, c. C. C. Morris, b. Wood, 0 Drinkwater, run out, 17 Pasea, c. DeMotte, b. Scott, 1 Justice, b. Scott, 2 Fairweather, b. Wood, 0 Mifflin...
