...game was remarkable as being the worst exhibition of ball playing ever done by Yale in Cambridge. Yale gave away the game in the first two innings by an inconceivable bunching of errors. After the second inning, Yale settled down to work and played a splendid game, both in the field and at the bat. Havard's lead was, however, too great to be overcome. Stagg pitched a magnificent game, striking out twelve of his opponents and keeping them down to five scattering hits. Bates also pitched well, although his wildness in the fifth gave Yale two runs...
This afternoon the Harvard nine goes out to a struggle on whose results depend in part its chances for the championship pennant this year. The nine has done some splendid work since it last encountered the Yale team and has inspired the college at large with confidence of its ability to beat Yale in the contest to-day. Both the fielding and the batting of the nine has improved greatly with its constant practice, and the steady work of the battery in all the games leaves nothing to be asked from that quarter except that it maintain its excellent standard...

We must win it if we hope...

Today the University nine plays Yale at New Haven and the freshmen play the Yale freshmen at Cambridge. In the game at New Haven, the splendid work of the nine has given us every reason to hope for victory. The men will feel the disadvantage of playing on foreign ground and encountering the well-known Yale enthusiasm today. Yet we want to see them show determination and steadiness from the beginning of the contest till the end, and we hope that the large contingent of Harvard that will go to New Haven with the nine will support the team...
