...Harvey, '93 (age 22), shortstop, has worked up from the infield. He is not quite so brilliant and steady as Norton in his playing...
...Yale men got but one hit off the former, not another ball going to the Harvard outfielders, and fifteen of them struck out. Mason's catching was worthy of the pitching which he caught, and he did not have even a dropped third strike to mar his record. The infield, too, covered themselves with glory, and the only fielding error that Harvard had was made by Dickinson on a very difficult chance...
...three strikes. Murphy managed to hit out a fly, which Hovey easily captured. Harvard came near scoring in her half of the inning. Dickinson got a pretty single to right field, and a moment later took second on a passed ball. Trafford hit a hot ball to the infield, but took first as Jackson dropped the throw. Dickinson took third, and to the eyes of all but the umpire, crossed the plate in safety, while Trafford was stealing second. Trafford took third on Corbett's sacrifice to Jackson, but Bowers kept him there by striking out Highlands...
...play of '94 was wretched in the extreme. Fourteen errors, all by the infield, is pretty nearly a record, even for a class game, and their batting, with the exception of Mackie's three-bagger, and Hapgood's clean base-hit which followed it, bringing in the only earned run of the game, was woefully weak. In one respect however, they out-played the freshmen, for they put snap and life, even into their errors, while '95, though they played a clean game, did not play with snap, except at the rarest intervals...
...good one for ball-playing, except for the high wind which made it next to impossible to knock a fly ball beyond the infield...
