Andover came to the bat first and went out in one, two three order, for the first three innings. In the first, Hutchinson and Greenway struck out and Murphy knocked a slow grounder to Dickinson. For Harvard, Hovey led off with a hit to short stop, which was muffed enabling him to reach first. He stole second and third and got home on error by catcher. Hallowell got his base on balls, stole second, got to third on a poor attempt to throw him out and tried for home only to be put out at the plate, on Frothingham...
...about twenty men all of whom will probably be kept through the vacation. The practice at present consists chiefly in playing games between the first and second nine and in batting at the nets.

The stroke so far has been kept very slow so that it is impossible to form any judgment of what the new men will do when they are put into a shell...
...Faults of the crew on the whole are that they fail to get around the water on the catch, keep poor time, are slow with their hands, and in starting their slides, are inclined to rush the last part of their recover, and do not pull their blades through at the same depth...
