...nine has been watched with the deepest interest during the past week and from its good showing in practice such a complete victory by Princeton was unexpected. It was hardly hoped that the team would win the game at Princeton, but the poor work done by the infield and the weak batting were disappointing. It is expected that a great change will be felt in the whole team should the work behind the bat be bettered. This will be done for next Saturday's game by putting in Thorne, should his injured finger allow him to play...
Haughton's pitching was a very easy mark for the Newton men who batted safely almost whenever they pleased. His support was exceptionally poor in every respect.

The Freshmen have a good battery and are fielding well. Their batting is also good, which is due in great part to Garrison's careful and systematic coaching. Mason will umpire the game. The batting order of the teams...
