...account of the examinations but few men witnessed the game between Harvard and Columbia on Holmes field yesterday afternoon. The wind was high and gusty all the afternoon, blowing almost directly up the field, making fielding difficult. Some long flies which would have been hits but for the wind were caught out. The fielding of both nines was sharp, Columbia making but 5 errors, Harvard, 4. Bates, although he was not quite in such good form as usual, giving 4 men bases on balls, held the visitors down to three hits, one of which was a scratch hit, and struck...
...prevented by the weather. Both nines played a good careful game up to the seventh inning, and for a time the issue was very doubtful, Princeton tying Yale 1 to 1 in the fifth, and holding them during two innings.

Bates was advanced a peg on Knowlton's hit, but they were both left on Quackenboss' grounder to Price. In the fourth, Howland led off with a hit, took second on Campbell's sacrifice, third...
