...seniors beat the sophomores by a score of 7 to 6. The game was very close throughout, though Ninety-one had the lead for seven innings. McPherson and Wood were both very effective and the batting very light. The men on both nines played well though several showed the lack of practice. The features of the game were the difficult running catches of Wood and Crosby. The batting was weak and the base running sometimes careless. Very fine playing was made difficult by the cold wind, nevertheless the game as a whole was above the average of class games. Appended...
