...most unusual play of the game was made by Frantz. In the seventh inning Pennsylvania had two men on bases with two out, when Brown knocked a hard line hit towards right field. Frantz jumped more than two feet in the air, knocked down the ball and put the runner out at first by about a foot. This play prevented one and possibly two runs. Frantz's poor throw in the eighth inning was excusable, as it was made after a difficult one-handed stop which threw him off his balance. Reid was somewhat unsteady behind...
Although Exeter was unfortunate in making errors with men on bases, the team did some brilliant fielding. A double play made in the first inning by Woodsum, Peters and Gilman was so quickly done that the runner at first was out by three yards. Peters at short-stop covered an unusual amount of ground and made some excellent stops and throws...
...batted well when hits counted, but throughout the game there was a marked tendency to knock high flies. Stillman, in the first four innings, did not allow a hit and gave but one base on balls.

Clarkson, who pitched the rest of the game, was also very effective. Lafayette's only hit was a bunt towards third base, which Clark did not touch, expecting it to roll outside the foul line.

In the whole game Lafayette hit the ball to the outfield but once, and then it was easily handled by Putnam.

In batting, Clarkson led the team with a clean single and a scratch infield hit out of three times at bat. With the exception of Kernan, who made a three-base hit to right field, no one else made more than...
...Boardman, Yale '02, the 220 yards and quarter-mile runner received injuries in the Yale games last Friday which according to reports from Yale will prevent his entering the dual games on Saturday. J. E. Haigh '03, the best man in the 100 yard dash, has a strained muscle that will prevent his doing any work until Wednesday, and that is likely to hurt his chances in Saturday's games...
