...three innings, put up a decidedly wretched game of ball and was directly responsible for four runs. Walker who took his place was a little better but he too was very unsteady and unreliable. The catching of Brown was not all that could be desired. He was very slow in starting after foul balls and covered very little ground. Cozzens pitched a very good game. But four scattered hits were made off him and he struck out eight men. His fielding however ought to be improved. Hayes, at short, played by far the best game of the afternoon. His fielding...
...surprising how slow class feeling is to manifest itself in the shape of subscription towards the support of class teams. Again we have unpleasant evidence of this in the present state of the freshman crew finances.

The game was won not on account of any especially good playing on Harvard's part, but more on account of the very slovenly playing of Williams in the fourth and seventh innings. The only earned run that was made was that by Paine in the eighth. The batting of both nines was exceedingly weak. Out of Harvard's nine hits four were scratch, and ones which should have...
...first race and were soon left behind. The '96 crew continued to hold a lead of a length over the 'varsity until the last half mile of the two mile course when the juniors went to pieces and the 'varsity crew nearly passed them. Both crews rowed a fairly slow stroke - not more than 34 to the minute...
