Harvard did not outplay Dartmouth. The hitting was very weak, due principally to Newick's strong pitching and good judgment, and except in one inning hits were not forthcoming when there were men on bases. In the field the work was very inaccurate and slow, and the men showed nervousness in handling infield hits. One fast and brilliant play took place in the sixth inning, when McGrath was caught between third base and the plate on Cregg's steal of second...
...heavy hitting recently developed was continued. Greenough, Kernan and Adams made home runs; Maguire made a two base hit and a three-bigger and Fox and Robeson each made a two-base hit. In backing up the bases the Freshmen showed great improvement, but their base-running lacked judgment. The fielding was encouraging, two double plays being made. Mason threw to bases better than in former games. There is still a tendency to watch the ball after hitting it instead of putting all energy into running, At times the team as a whole lacks life...
...success of the trip, however, was by no means as great as the scores indicate. The playing was at all times very loose, and would not have been effective against strong teams. There were a great many errors and instances of poor judgment, which were all productive of runs for the opponents; and the batting was so scattered and unreliable that no team play in this respect was possible. The batting work was not so steady or effective as last year, and several of the positions were fielded weakly. Two places in the outfield still remain unsettled with no candidate...
...batting is fair. Kernan, who has been appointed temporary captain, is covering second base. He is the hardest worker on the team and seems to put life into the other men. His batting is fairly sure and his fielding steady. Sanger at third base uses good judgment in waiting for balls and his hitting is fair. His fielding is very erratic. Greenough who is trying for shortstop does not put enough life into his playing and does not pay enough attention to backing up the bases. His hitting needs improvement. Mitchell in left field covers plenty of ground...
...show increased accuracy in fielding, but still have a tendency to rush their plays. Some advance has been made in batting, though there is much need of improvement in this department. The players are too apt to hit at bad balls and on the whole do not display good judgment...
