...afternoon on Soldiers Field in a listless nine-inning game by the score of 12 to 2. Both teams were rather weak in the box, but Galbraith's delivery, although slow, seemed to puzzle the Freshmen. The College nine secured a total of twelve hits, of which Farrington made four singles, Lewis three, Bertholf two, and Maguire, Ewer and Lane one apiece. For the Freshmen, Milne secured one two-base hit besides a single, Coolidge a double, while Fincke and Quincy each made a single...
...thier batting strength. Si teen hits with a total of thirty-five were made off the Cambridge pitchers, although loose fielding caused the total to be much larger than it really should have been. Rand easily led the batting list with two triples and two singles, out of four times at bat. Foster hit for three bases once and once for a home run, Laughlin made a double and a triple and Haughton a triple and two singles. Taken all in all, it was the hardest hitting the 'Varsity has done this season, and is a fair indication...

First, to lower the flowers about the Tree; second, to wear ordinary street clothes instead of football suits; and, third, to reduce the seating capacity about the Tree from four thousand to three thousand seats. As a result of the first two changes the scrap was almost entirely done away with, since the wreath was so low, and the costumes so unsuitable for roughness, that the men in the first rows about the Tree had little difficulty in getting...

Not only did Andover lead for four innings by a single run made in the first inning, but up to the very last no chance was presented for the 'Varsity's winning by any appreciable score. As it was, Foster's home run barely saved Harvard from what might have been a veritable defeat...
...contrast to Harvard's style of play, the Andover team got into the game in rare form, displaying an unusual amount of vim and dash. The 'Varsity, on the other hand, exhibited decided listlessness. They secured but four hits to Andover's six, and for some unaccountable reason seemed entirely under the control of the Andover pitchers. Attempts at sacrifice hits were nearly always complete failures, and instead of hitting the ball at the proper time, the men repeatedly waited for bases on balls, which to be sure were in many cases forthcoming. In fielding, the team exhibited the same...
