...22nd, Harvard was given her first whitewash in the inter collegiate series for several years, Princeton beating her, 3 - 0. Errors, 1 - 3. The college was partially condoled by the news from Amherst that Yale had been beaten on the same day by the Amherst team. The score was 5 - 4, with 7 bases for 9 for each team. Errors, 1 - 4. At the end of the third week of the contest, this left Amherst and Princeton tied for first place, Harvard next, then Yale, Williams and Brown. Four games had been postponed...

Steadiness in play, presence of mind at critical moments cannot be gained by competition with clubs which are beaten with the score in the twenties.
