...Harvard men. It is a long time since a Harvard nine has been 'blanked,' and the experience is an extremely unpleasant one. The game was not marked by any incidents deserving of mention, except the fine play of Cooper at short. The visitors got their runs by bunching their hits and by Harvard bunching their errors. Ayrault pitched a fine game, allowing only two scattering hits to be made off his delivery. Nichols - as was to be expected - did not show up in his usual good form. Donovan, the League Umpire, did not appear, and his place was filled...

...Tufts. The opposing nine played a fairly good game, considering that their catcher and pitcher were hired especially for this occasion from the John L. Whiting team.

...base ball as a huge joke, and during a game indulge in such little pleasantries as guying each other about errors. The sooner they drop this style of play the better for the class and for the men themselves. They fail to play together, and a couple of hits by their opponents totally demoralize the team. They play without snap and as if nothing depended on their improvement. They strike at a ball, with one or two exceptions, with out any life, and if they make a hit, it is generally by chance. '89 must stop fooling at once...
