Carr played well at third base, throwing a man out at the plate at a critical moment, and at the bat drawing a base on balls and making three hits. Wendell accepted his one chance in left field, and made a hit and one sacrifice. Clarkson had but one chance in centre field, and got two hits, making a drive over centre fielder's head for three bases when men were on second and third...
...cover-point. At goal Leake is perhaps the most likely candidate, with the possibility of Hanavan, the other defense candidate, being forced out to point. At point Chaffee is doing poor work. Lehman at cover-point is still slow in starting and following the ball, and at the last moment may be replaced by E. C. Carter 2G. Except for these positions the defense is tolerably effective.

Forty years ago the American Union was in deadly peril, and thousands of its young men were bleeding and dying for it. It is credibly reported that at a very critical moment the Queen of England said to her prime minister: 'My Lord, you must understand that I shall sign no paper which means war with the United States.' The grandson of that illustrious woman is sitting with us here...
...widespread protest in this country at the present moment against the practices of the British government might thus materially assist the efforts of fair-minded Englishmen like Lehman, just as two years ago the world wide protest against the French government helped Zola and Picquart.

A moment later Wolff secured a goal for Columbia and just before the end of the half scored again. At the beginning of the second half the play was very even, but after each side had made a few weak shots for goal, Winsor finally captured the puck from Campbell near Columbia's goal and scored Harvard's last point. Campbell made the third goal for his side...
