...allowing Morrill's men to make only two hits. One of these was the merest scratch, and the other was made by the last man in the last inning. The whole team backed up the pitcher in a way that left very little to be desired. Bates fumbled a grounder in the first inning and Dickinson another rather difficult one in the sixth, but with these exceptions the fielding of the team was perfect. Whenever one of Morrill's men got a base he was sure to be thrown out before he came home. Only one man scored, and only...
...game yesterday was interesting and well played. The University of Vermont sent a good team to represent it, and our nine scored only in three innings. Harvard played a spirited and almost errorless game. Dickinson was weak at third, muffing a fly and throwing a prettily stopped grounder so wild to first that the base runner came in before the ball could be found. Dean and Hovey covered their territory finely and put a great deal of snap into their work. Bates, though very wild, was effective, and allowed only four hits. He was especially good at watching...

The fielding of Harvard was good throughout the game, the only error being a half-excusable fumbling of a hot grounder. The features of the game were Hallowell's hitting for Harvard and Arthur's running catch of a very high fly in the seventh inning for Williams...
...freshmen scored twice in the second. Lowell got his base on fumbled grounder, stole second, and reached third on a wild pitch. Clarke got his base on balls and stole second, and both men scored on Harding's single. Two more runs were made in the fourth. Clarke made a hit, stole second and came home on the muff of Harding's fly to right. Harding took second on the throw in, went to third on a muff by centre field who tried to catch him at second, and came home on Minton's hit. Cabot got his base...
...delivery very accurately and hit him safely five times with a total of seven bases. Cobb held him fairly well, but made one tremendously wild and disastrous throw to second base, besides showing poor judgment at times in throwing to the other bases. At second Dean fumbled one grounder and then threw the ball far out of Trafford's reach. The rest of Harvard's play was medium...
