...tried to pass his opponent by drives along the sidelines and cross court. His strokes were not as sure as in the previous matches and his lobs were generally too short. In the third set, however, he was more successful and won, 6 to 2. Laverack played a safe game most of the time but his strokes were well executed and he played Derby's back-hand with good effect. His kills at the net were generally well placed but sometimes lacked force...
...score through G. C. Clark's attempt to make three bases on his two-base hit to right centre. The failure to hit White does not necessarily indicate a slump in batting, for the ball was hit hard a number of times when Georgetown's fast fielding prevented safe hits. Such a showing against White, one of the best men pitching on college teams this year, is not discreditable. Georgetown did not hit Kernan hard, but bunched hits when they were needed and took advantage of bases on balls and Harvard's errors...
...Devlin singled in the eighth inning. Kernan fumbled Cranston's bunt and the bases were full. Loughlin dropped Byrne's long drive and allowed him to reach third. Walsh and Devlin scored but Cranston failed to touch the plate and was put out. Byrne scored on White's safe bunt...

In the eighth inning the Juniors made four runs on a combination of hits and errors and secured a safe lead. The features of the game were the fine all-round playing of Putnam, the batting of Rainbolt, and a pretty catch of a high liner by Wheelock. As usual at class games the crowd continually edged in on the players along the base lines and made accurate fielding impossible...

The quarter-mile should also go to Yale, through Boardman's speed. The other likely men in this event are Haigh and Clerk of Harvard, and Luce, Johnson, Thomas and Brennan of Yale, though it may be decided to put the last named man in the half...
