...nine did not return directly to Cambridge from New Haven, but spending Sunday there they went to Amherst yesterday morning, where they ended their most successful trip by defeating the home nine by a score of 13 to 10, after a most exciting game.

Harvard made two runs in the second inning, five in the fourth and four in the sixth, practically winning the game.

About eleven minutes had been taken to score this goal and only seven more remained before the hour and a half were up. The play of Harvard was very vigorous in an attempt to tie the score and so prolong the play...
