Clifford was put in to bat for Desha and came up to the mark with a perfect sacrifice. Potter succumbed to Imlay's fast shoots. Then McLaughlin hit an easy one to Aldendifer, who had been fielding his position faultlessly, but in his anxiety to make a fast play, the later fumbled the ball, allowing McLaughlin to reach first easily. Meanwhile Babson had rounded third and was racing for the plate. Aldendifer's throw was too far to the left of the rubber to allow Cozens to catch the runner and Harvard had the tieing...

The time for the half-mile was 2 minutes, 8 1-5 seconds. At the three-quarter mark Paull was still leading, with Hanavan and Jones at his heels. The latter then began what can be called "that famous Cornell sprint" and went to the fore in short order.
