...candidates for halves are all promising men, and careful work will make good players of them. White is careless, fumbles badly, and does not use his head enough; he runs well around the end and is hard to tackle. Greenough tackles well and is a hard worker, but needs a great deal of practice. Henry rushes well through the center but never looks where he is going; he punts well, but is not sure. Schoen tackles well; he is a good dodger and a hard man to stop, but his work is very uneven. Green lacks confidence...
...crippled Harvard team was extremely creditable. In the first innings S. A. M. Skinner did the best batting for Harvard, going in first and rolling up 18 before his wicket fell, the last for the side. Wells also batted in good form. The running, however, was extremely careless. For Mystic Record, an underhand bowler, was very effective, taking three wickets for one run. C. S. Skinner bowled excellently for Harvard. The Harvard team showed their lack of practice by some ragged work in the field, but managed to keep Mystic down to 38 runs, thus winning by two runs...
...other attempts were too much on the grand-stand style, and were very disappointing.

...college confidently expects that its showing at New Haven will be creditable. The college has good reason for this feeling, in that it has seen the men doing unusually hard work this year under unusually capable and energetic coachers. There has been little apparent disposition to inactivity and careless work, such as there was last year. The improvement of late, however, has not been so rapid, and in the points in which the nine is weakest the advancement has been surpassingly and disappointingly slow. The college itself has ill supported the nine by its presence at the games. An opportunity...
Harvard defeated Amherst yesterday afternoon on Holmes Field twelve to seven. Both nines played a poor fielding game, but Harvard excelled at the bat. Hare, the Amherst pitcher, became discouraged and careless in the fifth inning, and forced men in by giving bases on balls when there were three men on bases. Downer pitched a steady game, and was well supported by Upton, who threw finely to bases. The feature of the game was Soule's short-stop play. He had nine chances without an error. Alward was careless at third base, but batted well. Harvard's coaching...
