Duffield, No. 5, slow at the catch, meets...
...strong game; the work of Powers, Exeter's catcher, whom Andover protested was particularly brilliant. Repeatedly he caught men off bases by his quick, accurate throwing. At one time the bases were full with none out. Hapgood allowed himself to be caught napping off first and Trafford was equally slow in being thrown out between third and home and then the batter went out and Harvard failed to score. Harvard put in a substitute team. Corbett caught and Whittemore played short stop. The batting was weak and the playing as a whole decidedly uncreditable. Exeter's run ought...

With the juniors at the bat in the fourth, the ball became so wet and slippery that the freshmen seemed unable any longer to handle it. They made four errors, and let three unearned runs come in. This tied the score, and, alter another...
