...exceeded 1,500. This 1,500 represented the personal friends of the contestants, and graduates and undergraduates of the various colleges, but the 2,300 outsiders, who would have been present if their attention had been called to the meeting, were missing. Not two miles away 5,000 people saw one base-ball match and 4,000 another, while 6,000 attended the horse races, and certainly 4,000 would have witnessed these games if they had been properly placed before the public...
...Haven hardly reflects credit upon the menders of our nine, and I think I speak with the majority when I say that the whole result was very disappointing, not only to their own class, so confident before the game, but also to the whole college. The upper-class men saw with the usual misgivings, the freshmen set out on their way to New Haven, and the first news of defeat was not a great shock to most men; but when the details were all in, and the playing had been well talked over by all those who saw the game...
...Yaleism as discourteous as it was unusual. At the end of the fifth inning, with a score of 10 to 2 against Yale, and the nine looking rather blue, the crowd realized that they were being outplayed in the field, at the bat and in base running, and saw that their only hope lay in getting Dartmouth rattled.

Williams won the toss and took "outs." For Harvard, Coolidge and Baker flied out respectively to Burden and Stafford, and Phillips struck out. For Williams, Hubbell took two bases on Phillips' wild throw and third on Boyden's wild pitch, but was left there, as Yales went out, Baker to LeMoyne, W. Safford flied out to Keep and P. Blackmer struck...
...free from all currents, and is small enough to avoid a swell. It was reluctantly given up when the number of men in the crews was changed from six to eight, and the distance was raised to four miles. Accordingly, in the regatta of '59 and '60 Quinsigamond saw the crimson wave victorious, and an impetus given to a sport which is now so prominent a feature of American college life. In 1861 the call for volunteers was responded to by many a patriotic son of Harvard and Yale who would otherwise have competed for the laurels...
