...Princetonian attributes the defeat of the Princeton nine last Monday to its poor base-running and fielding...
...Harvard boys say they have a poor crew to represent American oarsmen, and complain of the action of the faculty, which prohibits them from hiring a professional "coach." Then, again, the Cambridge crew is probably the most formidable collection of amateur oarsmen in the world, and it would seem that nothing but the very best training of the very best men in Harvard should be pitted against such famous champions...
...Columbia. Cameron and Willard both played good ball at first. The umpiring of Mr. Pearce gave universal satisfaction to the unprejudiced.

Allen made a two-bagger, bringing in Willard and got in himself on a wild. pitch. This closed the run getting for this inning...
