...reclaimed land known as the Longfellow meadow. This land has been in the possession of the University for many years, but until lately it was regarded as practically useless. A process of draining and filling in, however, has resulted in reclaiming it completely. As soon as more gravel is thrown on and about a foot of loam on top of the gravel, grass seed will be planted and the whole area will become as well adapted to athletics as Soldiers Field proper...
...best until Lafayette had men on bases. Reid was not up to his usual form, allowing two passed balls and making a wild throw to second, which would have been an error but for an exceptionally good catch by Coolidge. Kendall did not cover much ground and missed a thrown ball...

Columbia's run in the second inning was due to Clarke's wild throw and Fincke's fumble of an easy grounder. In the seventh inning Fincke missed two thrown balls and Clarke one, allowing two runs to be scored. Loughlin's and Coolidge's errors were equally inexcusable, but did not happen to result in runs. The nine made more hits than in any previous game this year, but this was largely due to the weakness of the opposing...

In the outfield, Clarkson did fairly well, Comins fielded his position satisfactorily except for one bad error, and his throw to the plate in the eighth inning was the feature of the game. Dever had no chances in the field...
