...final meeting of Saturday, however, an additional rule was made forbidding the quarterback to plunge through the centre directly after receiving the ball on the snap back; requiring instead that he first run out five yards to the side. In order that the officials may be sure that the man does run out five yards, the field is to be marked with five yard lines lengthwise as well as crosswise...
Harvard made all four runs in the first two innings, as follows: Randall, the first man up, made a home run. Matthews received a base on balls, took two bases on an error by Joyce and scored on another error by the same fielder. Coburn opened the second inning by knocking a swift ground ball to Goodman, which was not fielded cleanly, allowing him to get his base. He was forced to second by Coolidge, who received a base on balls, reached third on a grounder by Stephenson and scored on a single by Matthews. Stephenson in the mean time...
...because the game was lost that the team deserves censure, but because it was lost by such wretched and lifeless work. Only one Harvard man reached second base and he was forced there by a base on balls. Repeatedly the Harvard men walked to the plate and were called out on strikes without swinging the bat.

Coburn also pitched very creditably with eleven strike-outs and only four hits against him; but his effective work in the box proved unavailing, since he himself made an error which let in three runs, and every other man in the infield made one or more errors, all of which were very costly. Such deplorable fielding, however, was only in part responsible for the defeat; for at the bat, the team showed a weakness which has been unparalleled this year, making only two clean singles and a scratch...
...strike by Stephenson. In the fourth inning, Gray received a base on balls, reached second on a sacrifice hit, third on a passed ball, and came home on an error by Matthews. Lynch opened the eighth inning by getting to base on an error by Randall. Abbott, the next man up, made a three-base hit, but Lynch failed to touch third base, and was declared out. Later, Abbott scored on an outfield fly by Gray. The score: HARVARD. a.b. r. b.h. p.o. a. e. Randall, 1b. 3 0 1 6 0 1 Stephenson...
