...cannot say enough in praise of the team. It began its work with the prospects before it of a most satisfactory season. The season has not been satisfactory; but it has been successful. Its outcome has proved that the college has been represented by one of the most brilliant and hard-working teams which has ever been at Cambridge; that each man on the team has laid aside every personal feeling and has worked with marvelous earnestness; and that they have been led by a captain of whose indomitable energy and courage Harvard has had so many occasions to feel...
Trafford, in four times at the bat, made three hits and a sacrifice, and Hovey made two clean singles. The feature of the Holy Cross game was the fielding of Cain, who made one very brilliant catch. Mahoney also played well at second base. For the first three innings Holy Cross batters went out in regular order, Harvard, meanwhile, making two runs.

Fitz knocked a grounder to Hovey, who threw quickly to Cook. The latter had plenty of time to put out Rudderham, who was forced from second, but he neglected to touch the base. With three men on bases Gardner knocked a fly to Hovey, who fielded it to Cook in time to catch Rudderham before he could get back to his base. Carleton now came to the bat. O'Brien...
