Willard's batting was terrific, while his fielding was perfect. The main points of crificism against the home team were the careless base running, and lax coaching. For Princeton, Clark led at the bat, and Toler and Shaw excelled in fielding. The features of the game were the stop and throw by Edgerly in the third, Allen's foul catch in the sixth, Willard's batting, and the double play by Shaw...

A young man rarely realizes its full suggestiveness until after his return home from college. In the careless days of early boyhood, the momentous issues of life, of which this is one, are not anticipated, or if so, only with a soothing sense of great distance...
