...ordinarily moved in regard to a matter which such excellent base-ball authority as the Clipper as well as ourselves regarded as a foregone conclusion in our favor. To Captain Thayer we have only to reiterate our praises for his excellent services both as a general and as a player, and our thanks for the impetus and manly tone he has infused into base-ball at Harvard, notwithstanding the stumbling-blocks raised by the powers that be, and our heartiest wishes are that his successors may, for many generations, follow out as nearly as possible the admirable example...
...Andrews and Ernst. Howe played finely behind the bat; Blair and Plimpton excelled in the field for Amherst, while Wright, Nunn, and Thayer played best for Harvard. Winsor led for both sides at the bat, and our Nine has been greatly strengthened by the acquisition of so plucky a player.

...second, and W. A. Howe also did finely. In the seventh inning, with two on bases by clean hits, Cruger pitched so effectively that three men went out on strikes, neither of the base-runners securing a run. Elliott at short was fortunate in having so good a player on first, for his throws were not up to their usual standard...
