...full of spectacular incidents. The playing was far from perfect, but there was plenty of life and determination. The outfield contributed some of the finest plays seen on Soldiers Field this year. In the first of the thirteenth Harvey sprinted to deep left centre and pulled down a hard drive of Wadsworth's. In the tenth Harvey made a swift and accurate throw to Currier off Young's hit that held Hamilton on third and gave Currier a chance to throw Young out at second. Dana and Aronson also did their share to prevent runs. With three on bases...
...University team was excellent. Simons made a beautiful one-hand stop of a high bounder, which was going over second, and threw to first, retiring the side in the third inning.

Matchneer struck out, and Judson was safe at first on a fielder's choice, which retired Williams at third. A hit by Howard was fielded to third by Aronson, and Lanigan threw to Simons, who put out Judson. Howard was then caught on Simons's throw to Briggs...

Sweetser played a very fast game with a well executed low ground drive. Nile's playing against the Yale captain N. C. Stevens was brilliant. All his shots were fast and perfectly made, and he won most of his points on his service and back hand drive. The scores were as follows...
