...lacrosse team played a tie game with the Columbia Freshmen on Saturday, the score being 8 to 3. As the Columbia freshmen had already played several games, the showing of the Freshman team was very encouraging in view of the fact that this was its first game. The chief fault of the team as a whole was the tendency of the attack to fall back on the defense. Although there was decided improvement in team-work, the men were slow and clumsy in handling their sticks...
...Second nine lost its game with Dean Academy at Franklin on Saturday by the score of 14 to 4. The chief fault of the team was, as in all the games played this sparing, a disappointing weakness at the bat; the base-running was sleepy, and the fielding full of errors, a fact partly accounted for, however, by the unevenness of the ground, second base being four feet above the plate.

...together with the poor base-running, practically cost the West Point game. Behind the bat, R. P. Kernan caught very well, and showed vast improvement over his form of last year, while his throwing to base left nothing to be desired. Although he has improved in his batting, the fault of striking too hard was still conspicuous. In the Annapolis game, however, he succeeded in making two home runs and a three-base hit out of six times at bat. Stephenson, while showing some improvement in covering the ball, proved weak on low pitches, and slow in throwing to bases...
