Campbell opened the ninth for Harvard by a long, high fly to left, which was captured after a long run by Watts. This was by far the prettiest play of the day and was well applauded by the Harvard nine. Quackenboss followed by a grounder to second, which was fumbled.

...showing the standing of the university ball nine, foot ball team and boat crew, with the three chief substitutes for each. Their average for the past year was not below, and probably a little above, the average of the college at large, and the figures show there are both high and low scholars among them. The present method of marking is such that the averages cannot be obtained as exactly as a few years ago, but the conclusion is undoubtedly correct.
