Wigglesworth furnished the feature of the game by a pretty running catch of Flaherty's long fly in the sixth inning. Reeves's throwing to second was excellent; he caught four men stealing...
...fourth inning. It was a farcial play, both the Harvard and Colby players showing a lamentable lack of baseball brains. With Babson on third and Wingate on second, a "squeeze" play was in order, but caption Potter, who was at bat, did not hit and Babson was caught off the base.

At quarterback Potter ran the team without a fault and his punts easily outdistanced those of his opponent, Sprackling. As a field general there appeared little choice between the two.
