...score of 7 to 1. The game was closer than the score indicates, as Chicago several times got men as far as third base and was kept from scoring oftener only by very steady fielding. Stillman struck out thirteen men and allowed only four hits, but he had poor control and gave six bases on balls. With the exception of Reid's two wild throws the fielding was steady and good. The team, however, did not have the speed and cleverness that was shown in the Cornell game. Chicago was very unsteady in the field, making five very costly errors...
Clarkson was greatly affected by the cold, damp air, and it was only with the greatest effort that he attained his speed and control. He gave three bases, made a wild pitch, and allowed seven hits, two of which were for three bases. He was remarkably steady in the eighth and ninth innings, however. The playing of Frantz was the most valuable for Harvard. Aside from bringing in the winning runs, he made a throw to second in the eighth, which resulted in a double play. Reid did not hit as well as usual, but played his position well...

The errors made by the Freshmen were costly for the most part and the team went to pieces at critical moments...
...battery work on both sides was poor. Coburn had fair control, but was inclined to be careless, especially in throwing to bases.
