Both pitchers were effective each striking out ten men. Alexander, however, showed a tendency to weaken at critical times. Welton caught well for Yale, and easily stopped Harvard's two attempts to steal. Parker, was slow in getting the ball off, and allowed the Yale runners to steal bases almost at will...
...clearly apparent. The men seem to be awkward, and though they are well up to the average in strength, they do not apply their power well. The crews are still very unsteady. All the men are apt to let their oars fly up at the catch and to weaken at the finish. In fact their power is applied only in the middle of the stroke.

This leaves the eleven with a substitute back-field and substitute ends, which in itself is enough to weaken the team considerably. Besides this the whole team has deteriorated very much during the week, and is not able to play nearly as well as a week...

At third, Brown has been displaced by Guernsey, who is playing a steadier game. Blount was taken from the freshman team and is playing in the outfield. The Princeton team...
