Nowadays one continually hears the question asked: "Why does Cornell turn out such superior teams to ours?"

Leighton pitched for the Freshmen, and disposed of nine of the Milton batters who faced him, maintaining a steady average throughout the game. For the Freshmen, Kerr did particularly well, securing three hits out of three times at bat, and scoring two runs. For Milton, Tisdale was conspicuous for his performance...
