YALE 5; PRINCETON 1.The first game of the season between Yale and Princeton at New Haven on Saturday was marked by the brilliant battery work of both teams. Carter and Drake, the opposing pitchers were very effective, the former allowing only five and the latter six singles. Not one of the runs made by either side was earned, Carter struck out sixteen man, and Drake, three. Yale made all her runs before the fifth inning, two in the first, one in the second and two in the third. Princeton's one run was made in the sixth when Woodcock...
...however, the extremely close score, now with Harvard and now with Yale ahead, kept the interest of the spectators up to the highest pitch. It was not until the final heat in the 220 yards dash which Merrill, after taking first in the quarter mile, won by the most brilliant running of the afternoon, that Harvard's victory was assured.

After seven inning the score stood, Harward '96 seven, Barristers seven, and it was agreed to call the game. There were absolutely no brilliant features in the game, unless three singles by Griffin can be called brilliant. The roughness of the ground made good play absolutely out of the question. Besides, Winslow being laid off with a sore hand, Brown played third base, Hayes short, and Ames second base. Hayes was particularly unfortunate, making four errors...
...thirty-six men came to bat, and in the first five innings only fifteen Harvard men batted. The most brilliant work of the game was in the fourth, when J. Highlands pitched just nine balls...
