...opportune hitting of his team-mates. The University twirler was decidedly stingy with his hits, allowing but six well-scattered ones and whiffing nine of the opposing batsmen. In addition he headed off a dangerous rally of the opposing team by a spectacular barehanded stop of Hoyt's sizzling grounder just in time to stop Lee at the plate. Hoyt's contribution, as it was with only one man down, would undoubtedly have gone for a clean bingle had not Mahan gotten in the way of it and thus would have tied up the score and given Princeton a good...
...until the fourth each side was retired in order, no one getting beyond the initial sack. In the University's half of the fourth the scoring began. Nash was out on a grounder down the first base line. Abbot drew a walk and Harte, the next man up, sent him around to third on a clean bingle past second. Mahan flied out to Tibbott.

The "first and third double steal," one of the University's own pet plays, followed and gave Vermont...
...University, in the second inning, Abbot singled and Percy fouled out to Lord. Beal then singled, advancing Abbot to third. Harvey then passed Reed and Garritt, forcing Abbot across the plate. Purvere replaced Harvey. Nash reached first when Duncan booted his grounder, scoring both Beal and Reed. He was followed by Knowles, who singled, scoring Garritt and advancing Nash to third, where he was left when Harbe fanned...
