...decisive victory for the Harvard eleven who won by an innings and 46 runs. Harvard's play showed great improvement in both batting and fielding, and indicated that the team is stronger as a whole than it has been for several years. The fielding was sharp and clean, and was marked by several good catches. The bowling of Garrett in the first inning and C. Skinner in the second was remarkably effective. For Harvard...

Bates pitched in his best form, striking out ten men, and allowing his opponents but three hits, two of them scratches. Their one clean hit was a single to Hallowell in the eighth.

Cook was back on third for most of the game...

Hovey's quickness and sureness in doubling up Mendenhall and Woodcock were admirable...
...freshmen played a good game. Minton pitched six innings and allowed but one hit and struck out six men. the team played a clean game in the field, Lowell making some especially pretty catches...
