Stone's School won the toss and chose the outside course, along the Cambridge bank, on account of the more favorable tide. Stone's got a lead of half a length at the start, which it maintained for the first half-mile. Here the Sophomores increased their stroke from 30 to 32 and at Harvard bridge caught up with their opponents. By means of another spurt they drew away from Stone's finishing about a length and a half in the lead. The Sophomores victory was due to their superior weight, a more powerful drive and better form.

...first run was made in the second inning when Weeks, for Pennsylvania, got his base on balls, was advanced to second by Hare's sacrifice, and went to third on a balk, scoring on a wild pitch by Coburn. Stephenson began the fourth inning with a three-base hit to centre field. Kernan then made a long hit for a home run, scoring Stephenson. In the sixth inning Matthews hit to left field and by skillful base-running went to third on Stephenson's safe hit to shortstop. Dexter then made a fine single, bringing in both men. The last...
...attending lectures while in Cambridge. Failure to do this on the part of a few men has injured the chances of a number of University and Freshman teams this year.

Two of the men in the first boat got on probation after the season had begun, and this loss necessitated a general rearrangement of the crew, and greatly retarded its development. It is impossible to believe that athletes would so neglect their work as to get on probation, or that undergraduate sentiment would tolerate such virtual desertion of a team...
...Fast and reliable fielding on both sides prevented either team from scoring, although Princeton made ten hits and Amherst eight. Doyle pitched for Princeton in place of Byram, and played a steady, effective game, never losing control of the ball. In the second half of the eighteenth inning Reid got to first on a single. He was advanced to third on a passed ball, and a few moments later scored the decisive run of the game on a slow grounder of Wells...
...singled, stole second and third, and scored with Pritchett on Waters hit. Kurtz made an other run in the second inning, and Waters scored in the third on a hit, an error, and Bennett's sacrifice. In the fourth inning, Fischel made the last run for the Freshmen. He got his base on balls, and, after stealing second and third, came home on a sacrifice hit by Waters. Cambridge Latin scored its two runs in the third and eighth innings. Stiles made a hit in the third inning, stole second and third bases, and scored on Keaney's single. Boyer...
