After the wretched exhibition of ball playing of last Saturday the game which the nine put up yesterday was a surprise and a relief to every one. It showed that when forced to it Harvard can play good ball. For the most part the fielding was clean and brisk and the batting was sharp and timely. Highlands pitched a good cool game, allowing but three men bases on balls and keeping Princeton down to seven scattered hits. His base running in the fifth inning was one of the features of the game. Scannell was a little unsteady at times, muffing...
Mackenzie flied out to Cook. Otto got his base on balls and reached second on Bradley's hit. Scannell in trying to put Bradley out at first threw wild and Otto scored, Bradley reaching third. Brooks make a hit and Bradley came home. Things began to look doubtful, but Williams flied out to Winslow and Payne to O'Malley and the inning was ended...

In the third inning, with the bases full, there was a short hit to Winslow who had plenty of time to field the man out at the plate but he held the ball so long that one run came in and none were put out.

This put harvard and Yale out of the event, which went to Ramsdell of the U. of P., as the first of his victories. The final time was 10s., equalling the intercollegiate record. Patterson was second, scoring Williams's only two points, and Bucholtz third...
...each of the field events the number of contestants has been reduced to five in the morning. The winners will be found in the summary below. Hickok's put of 42 feet with the 16 1b. hammer, broke his own previous intercollegiate record of 41ft. 1-8in. In the hammer contest, Patterson of Cornell made the greatest throw, over 125 feet, but this was not allowed as he slipped and had to put his hand outside of the ring...
