Saturday afternoon the 'Varsity nine played its second game with the Williams college team, and this time succeeded in defeating it in a close, though not especially exciting contest. The nine was deprived of the services of Captain Willard, who was away, but McKean '90, who covered first base in his stead, played a very creditable game both at the bat and in the field. The home team played remarkably well in the field. The out fielders were slow in fielding the ball in, but the work of the infield was good. Much of the credit of winning the game...

Noyes, Yale's captain, did not seem to play...
...Freshman nine met the Seniors on Holmes Field yesterday afternoon and were defeated in a contest which was characterized by very loose playing by both teams. The seniors took a lead in the first and second innings which the freshmen could not overcome, although they played a good uphill game for seven innings. In the eighth inning the '89 team bunched their hits and with the assistance of some loose work by '92, managed to score five runs. The freshmen played without life after that...
