...several years. The worst part of this defeat was that it was absolutely unnecessary, and was due entirely to the most childish of playing at critical points. For seven innings both nines played a brilliant game, and during this time Harvard held the lead by one run. In the eighth inning the team gave an exhibition of the most atrocious playing that has been seen in Cambridge this year, and seven runs were allowed principally on misplays by Clarkson.
