...will be seen by the score, Princeton had no trouble in defeating Yale Saturday, 12 to 2. Yale played the weakest kind of a game, and Bowers was batted out of the box...
Bates was in the box for Harvard, and succeeded in pitching a very poor game for the first four innings. Four bases on balls, a couple of wild pitches, and six clean hits is a poor record for any game, even with professionals. On the other hand he struck out five of their stronger batters, and even Kelly himself. The rest of the team had their share in the poor playing, and made some inexcusable errors.

It was in the third that '92 won the game, by knocking Coonley out of the box. Brown led off with a hit to centre, and stole second, and Curtis put another out to left, on which Brown took third. Lake hit to Coonley, who started to head off Brown at third, but found he was too late, and did nothing at all. Cummin followed with a sacrifice...
