...effect of past defeats-although we have never been ashamed of them-and to put Harvard in the lead again. The opportunity must be seized. The exertions of the crew should be supported and encouraged by the students as they never have been before. The University has a right to expect victory...
Harvard was blanked in the first. Henshaw led off the second with a hit to right, was advanced a base on a passed ball, and scored on Willard's two base hit between centre and right. Willard was advanced a base on Bates' sacrifice and was put out attempting to reach home on Knowlton's hit to pitcher. Knowlton got first on Willard's put-out, second on a passed ball, third on catcher's wild throw to second, and scored on Quackenboss' hit to left. Quackenboss stole second and came in on a long wild pitch...
Harvard scored again in the second, by bunching three hits. Boyden led off with a drive to centre, took second on Henshaw's single to right, and they both were advanced a base on a sacrifice by Willard.

Two more were added in the sixth on a wild throw by second, an attempted put out and a passed ball. Harvard did not score...

Secondly, in the Princeton game, all the seats from the hospital building to the clump of willows were unreserved, and it was naturally expected that the same arrangement would be made on Saturday, especially as no notice of the change had been given beforehand. The students were disappointed, however...
