...first intercollegiate cricket match resulted in a decisive victory for the Harvard eleven who won by an innings and 46 runs. Harvard's play showed great improvement in both batting and fielding, and indicated that the team is stronger as a whole than it has been for several years. The fielding was sharp and clean, and was marked by several good catches. The bowling of Garrett in the first inning and C. Skinner in the second was remarkably effective. For Harvard...
...wish to congratulate also the nine for not only its play on Saturday but for the general good work which it has been doing of late. It has shown a steady improvement and now seems far stronger at all points than at any previous time this season. Such careful work is very encouraging.

Both men seemed somewhat winded and were resting when time was called. The third round...

In spite of the fact the he had boxed a short while before, Dodge appeared to be much stronger. The first round was very lively and both men rushed frequently but time was called without a fall. The second round was much the same as the first. In the third Dodge rushed and catching Paine by leg and neck lifted him from the floor and threw him on his back, thus getting a fall and winning...
