...appearance this fall, notwithstanding the anticlimax of last spring; and the indications are that it will be the best Eleven that Harvard has ever had. It was soundly beaten by the Walthams in the spring, but the events of the summer have shown that it was the closest game that any Massachusetts Club has played with...
...Albions of Saxonville played a game on the East Cambridge grounds, September 27, with an Eleven, nominally the Nahant, but practically the Harvard. The Harvards batted first, and hit for 54 with 5 extras. Of these, Lee, Hubbard, and Dwight earned 47 by splendid batting.

Every one took a hand in it, and all played as if they were utterly demoralized, showing little judgment and less nerve, which is very apt to be the case when a nine imagine they have an easy victory...
