...grow rich; if you once begin you will find it much more difficult to be a useful citizen. The useful citizen is a mighty, unpretending hero...
...MacVeagh got together and hit the bowling all round the field, their partnership practically removing any chances that Haverford had of winning. Hewes also hit vigorously. Haveford's first innings closed for only 42, or 64 behind Harvard. About this time rain began to fall, which made playing difficult.

He and Garrett both bowled throughout the game with success: and too much praise cannot be given to the captain...

A wild pitch by Stagg let in the winning run. The game on the whole was the finest ever seen at Princeton. Princeton made the only run of the game in the 8th inning...
