Harvard defeated University of Pennsylvania yesterday afternoon in a well-played game. Pennsylvania made several very costly errors, while Harvard played a perfect fielding game with the exception of one wild pitch by Boyden. Neither side scored during the first four innings. In the third inning, with Quackenboss on second, Howland hit a fly to short centre field which was captured by Hamme after a hard run. He threw Quackenboss out at second, making a brilliant double play. In the fifth inning, Harvard scored two runs on a single by Knowlton, a double by Quackenboss and errors by Nellins...
...second inning by a grounder to Noyes, which was fumbled. Bates struck out. Knowlton advanced Willard a base on a line hit to right field.

The score...
...greatly improved, while the fielding is steadier and more accurate. The game with Yale next Saturday will be the most important, if not the decisive game of the year. We must win it if we hope to get the championship. The enthusiasm of the college is at a high pitch, and the nine may be sure of the heartiest support...
