Although defeated, the University team played a very satisfactory game. The fielding was consistently good and several brilliant plays were made, especially by the outfield. Kernan excelled in this respect, for he made three difficult catches of long flies, at least one of which would have been good for a home run. In batting the men showed an encouraging amount of confidence, and hit the ball hard. Leonard's home run and Kernan's two hits, one of which started a fine rally in the seventh inning, were the features for the University team...
Among the undergraduates, C. Kempner '06 took the difficult part of "Striese" in the German play, and acted with remarkable grace and character work as "Trueweit" in the D. U. performances of "The Silent Woman." H. Kempner '08 and A. M. Hurlin '06 played "Captain Otter" and "Sir Amorous," respectively, in the same play. W. B. Wilbur 2L. has acquired very promising technique in amateur comedy parts...

The infielders of both teams covered their positions thoroughly and the outfielders were sure on catching flies. A feature of the game was the difficult catch by Kernan in the second inning of a long foul by Dickinson. In batting, both nines showed ability to hit consistently, although, except in the eighth inning, most of the hits went directly to the fielders...
...especially difficult this year to predict with any degree of accuracy the result of the meet. Yale men took part in the Pennsylvania relay carnival in April, and in the dual meet with Princeton last Saturday showed fairly well what may be expected of them. The Harvard team, however, has had no outside meets and the handicap and class games were both held with unfavorable weather conditions. Harvard should have the advantage on the track but is unusually weak in the field events. The results of the hurdles are most uncertain, and it is very probable that these two events...
