Both teams showed the effects of the weather, which was not conducive to spirited play. The base running was slow and unintelligent on several occasions and an unusually large number of men were left on bases. The fielding was more satisfactory. Simons and Crocker not only led the team at the bat, but covered, the ground around second base faultlessly. Simons made three put-outs on throws from Currier to catch men stealing second.

No sprints or racing starts were tried. The Freshman crew took the same kind of work, rowing four miles in all. The four substitutes from the University and Freshman squads made up a four-oar and went out in one of the Cornell shells...
