...direct result of errors by Colby, whose play in the field was very weak. On the contrary the batting was discouraging. Coolidge, Wendell and Clarkson each made two of the six hits, the rest of the nine knocking out flies or easy infield balls, with a total of seven strike-outs against a pitcher who delivered a very slow ball. The base running showed some improvement since the last game, and the fielding was on the whole fairly good, with the exception of errors by Coolidge, Stillman, and Skilton. Colby's one run was due to poor judgement...
...especially effective when Amherst had men on bases. In the field the team was steady, but the batting showed no improvement. The game emphasized the team's most serious fault. The men lacked aggressiveness at the bat and were content to let one or two strikes pass before offering at the ball; this attitude resulting in nine strike-outs. Fortunately four of the six hits made were timely and enabled Harvard to make three runs against a clean fielding team...
...practice before the game Devens wrenched his knee and was replaced by Wood. Devens will probably be unable to play again this season, as his knee is very weak. Kernan did not hold Clarkson well and threw wild to first base on Raftery's third strike in the sixth inning, thus making the only error for Harvard. His batting showed little improvement. Randall did not cover his base properly, dropping thrown balls from Clarkson while trying to put out base-runners. At the bat he made on hit and struck out twice. Coolidge and Skilton failed to make hits...
...support would have scored a shut-out. He had good control throughout, and was so effective that for five innings Dartmouth got only one man as far as first base. His best point was his ability to put the batter on the defense by making the first pitch a strike. Kernan caught a steady game, and threw excellently, but had no success at the bat. Devens played for the first time this year, and batted with good judgment. Randall was tried at first base and Wendell went to left field. Randall covered first base adequately, but was a little awkward...
...Lang out from foul bunt on third strike...
