...University team in Philadelphia on April 22. This may be shown by the fact that of the sixteen runs made by Harvard only four were earned, the rest being the result, directly or indirectly, of the opposing team's ten errors. The University team also played a discouraging and listless fielding game, which would have proved disastrous against a strong team. Although this falling off may be attributed in part to a reaction after the Princeton game, at least two of the errors were inexcusable. A redeeming feature was the fine running catch of a long fly by Kernan...
...practice of the Freshman baseball squad for the past week has been decidedly listless. The batting has been unsteady and the infield throwing, especially among the first basemen, has been very inaccurate. The outfielders alone have shown improvement...

The playing of the University team was very ragged in all departments of the game. On the offensive the forwards seemed unable to keep up with the puck; while Wilder and Townsend were very slow in their stick work and did not follow back well. The defense was also ineffective, owing in great measure to the frequency with which Newhall left his position at coverpoint to play among the forwards. Tilden, moreover, was weak at goal...
...half the Training School's defense materially strengthened, and owing to this improvement and to the inexcusably loose playing of the University team, only two more goals were scored. Frequently the University forwards would carry the puck down the ice only to lose it through careless stick work and listless passing in front of their opponents' goal...
