...stole second and came in on Bates' error. Howard got his base on balls, but was left on third. In the second, Bates made a base hit and Young got his base on balls, but the next three men went out. Strait got his base on Jones' failure to catch a fly, but was left on third...
...fifth, Harvard was disposed of quickly, Foster made a good single, but was put out trying to get to second on Dann's catch of Campbell's high fly, Willard filed out to Hunt. For Yale, Stewart led off with a fly which Foster captured after a hard run.

The feature of the game was Gallivan's game at short, accepting ten chances without an error, and making two marvellous one hand catches. Young played a brilliant game at second, though but one catch was very difficult. McLeod and Codman also made brilliant catches. Thayer caught as well as usual, and Palmer and Foss also did well. Eighty-eight batted hard for the first time and bunched hits, but had hard luck...
