...Harvard nine, on Jarvis field, last Saturday, in which Harvard beat by a score of 26 to 0. The game was well played on the whole, by Harvard, only two errors being made outside of the battery.

This, however, was by no means a sign of good batting by Harvard, since twelve base is only a small fraction of forty-one times at bat. In batting is where Harvard needs the most improvement.

Cobb struck out. In the seventh Harvard only scored one, and in the eighth...
