Entering Harvard in 1887, be at once brought the college team well in the front rank and himself made a brilliant record. He went in first in the Harvard-Longwood match, and carried his bat all through the inning for 61; duplicated this feat the following week against the Mystics for 39 runs; at the end of the spring term, had the magnificent average of 59.50, and his average for the year was: 6 inning, twice not out 149 runs, average 37.25. His bowling average the same year reads: 336 balls, 15 maidens, 23 wickets, 90 runs-average...

The men seemed to be satisfied with the lead obtained early in the game and their work thereafter was characterized...

He gave seven bases on balls, but his general work was very good. He kept his head well, allowing Harvard to bunch her hits only in the first inning. He made several wild pitches however, which let in runs. Princeton did not have very much difficulty in hitting Hawley after the fourth inning.
