...infield as a whole shows better all-around form and consistency of play than it did last year. Its speed has not increased much, but the men back each other up excellently, and play their positions to the best advantage. The players have not been subjected to such severe tests last year's games with Georgetown, Princeton and Holy Cross, but in the present season they have shown no tendency to go to pieces at critical times. That there has been no decided slump in their work is no doubt due to the large number of experienced players...
...steady with men on bases. At times he was wild, and gave three bases on balls, but with steady support would have scored a shut out. He was much harder to hit than at any other time this season. Fincke, Coolidge, Clark and Frantz worked well together in the infield. The running down of Layton between the first and second while Noble was held at third in the third inning, and a fast double play in the ninth were both brilliant plays. In spite of a strong wind Clark, Wendell and Stillman caught several high flies which were hard...

Harvard's first score was the three runs made in the third inning. Clarkson made a scratch infield single, stole second and went to third on Wendell's hit. Clark hit to right field, bringing in the two runners, and scored on Hoover's error and a wild pitch. In the fourth inning with one out, Fincke singled. Clarkson forced him out and then stole second.

...playing of Frantz was the most valuable for Harvard. Aside from bringing in the winning runs, he made a throw to second in the eighth, which resulted in a double play. Reid did not hit as well as usual, but played his position well, his speed in fielding an infield hit in the fifth making a difficult double play possible. He showed good judgment in sending Stillman in to bat for Clarkson in the ninth inning. Clark continued his improvement in batting, getting two hits; and accepted his fielding chances in good style. Coolidge made two errors, one of which...
