...Umpire: Mr. Hooper, Harvard University...
...second game was called at 11.30 on Thursday morning, the Harvards again at the bat. Mr. Hooper, '75, officiated as umpire. The first innings resulted in a whitewash for both sides. But on the second the Harvards got in 8 runs, on the third 5, and on the fourth 5, to the Browns 2, 1, and 1 in the same time. But here a change appeared.

After a few strokes Harvard showed a slight lead, with Cornell nearly even with her. Bowdoin, Columbia, Wesleyan, and Amherst were exactly in line, Yale gradually drawing ahead of the line, while Dartmouth, Trinity, Williams, and the "Aggies" were lagging behind...
