Harvard had no trouble yesterday in defeating Trinity in spite of the reported strength of the visiting eleven. The game was on the whole decidedly encouraging, though Trinity did not present a team strong enough to really test the ability of the Harvard line. The visitors could scarcely ever gain the required five yards, and could not prevent Harvard from steadily advancing the ball. Both teams played with a good deal of dash, but both fumbled badly. Trinity was particularly weak in this respect...
...first time this year, and thus lost the last scheduled game with Brown, which it was very important to win. Each team has now won two games and no deciding game has been arranged. Strangely enough each team has lost both the games on the home grounds. In spite of the defeat there is some consolation in the fact that Harvard is the only team which has won two games from Brown this year...
...spite of the ease with which Harvard won, the team played with a good deal of snap, and batted as well as in any game this year. The hits came generally at the right time and the men all hit the ball hard. The best plays of the game were a pretty throw to the plate by Rand which out off a run, and a good stop and throw by Stevenson. Clarkson continued his recent good work at the bat and made three singles and a double out of five chances...

Paine showed himself a great pitcher, keeping the hits well scattered except in two innings and showing praiseworthy endurance. Dean made several star catches in spite of the fact that he lost his feet. Chandler at short-stop played a steady game, making an excellent stop in backing up Stevenson in the twelfth inning. In fact the fielding of the entire nine was, with one or two exceptions, perfect...
...wish the 'Varsity Nine the best of success in its game with Princeton this afternoon. In spite of occasional lapses the team has proved that it can put up a strong, snappy game, and we expect it to reach its highest standard of work in the game today. The students at the game must do all that they can to encourage the players, by organized, strong cheering at the good plays and between the innings, especially when Harvard is behind. There is just one thing in connection with the cheering that ought to be spoken of, although we feel that...
