...position remarkably well, making seven assists besides striking two men out. In the eighth inning Paine went into the box and, with the exception of a home run and a single, Brown could not hit him at all. Paine, moreover, caught two men off first in fine style. Four clean hits and one scratch was all that Harvard could do with White's pitching. The men for the most part hit the ball but knocked either high flies or short grounders to the in-field. Corbett batted the best, mak-one single and a three bagger, but his fielding...
After two innings and a half of clean, sharp playing the Harvard-Princeton game on Saturday was stopped by rain. Neither side had scored.

The clean, strong, enthusiastic, persistent cheering, starting with the first play and not failing till the game was won, had not a little to do with the result. If ever a student felt that no one but the teams had anything to do with winning victories, he need only have been present at the Pennsylvania and Princeton games wholly to change his mind. United effort is needed...
...University will look for a great effort by the nine this afternoon if the weather permits the game with Pennsylvania to be played. No third game between the two nines has been arranged, and, if the nine should lose this afternoon, it would give Pennsylvania a clean record of baseball victories for this year over Harvard...
