Both teams went to work with a will at once. For nearly three quarters of an hour the ball went back and forth without either side scoring. Harvard's attack shot again and again, and shot accurately, but H. Hodge in goal turned the ball aside each time, and frequently followed it up, securing it and sending it far down the field. At last Hale tipped it to Gardner, who got a low throw unchecked, and sent the ball twisting between the posts. Time, 43 minutes...
After a rest of five minutes the ball was faced and went quickly to the Harvard attack, where it remained for some minutes; again there was fine play by the Harvard homes which was met by the Princeton goal-keeper, who at last sent the ball up to Harvard's posts. Blakemore secured it and threw one of the few dangerous shots made, which was cleverly turned aside by Peck. Up to this point the heavy men on the Princeton team had depended a great deal on rushing, and they now showed signs of weakening decidedly. The Harvard fielders...
...Stevens men began to play a steadier team game after the second goal and went in with more vigor. Very soon after the ball had been put into play, Captain Hood of Harvard turned his ankle and had to be helped from the field. When play was resumed, the loss which Harvard had sustained was very apparent in the wavering play of the attack. It was nearly twenty minutes before Davidson threw Harvard's third goal. This was a very clever side throw made under difficulties, which made its accuracy astonishing...

Three hits, a base on balls, and an error gave them our more runs in the second inning. The seventh inning yielded one more inn, brought in by a hit, a steal, and two bases on a wild pitch. Harvard was blanked for six innings, and only twice got men to third. Rain stopped the game in the middle of the seventh, and made the score revert to the sixth inning...
...devoid of any interest apart from the victory. Williams presented her change battery, but changed to her regular one after the 2d inning, It the first two innings, Safford gave seven men their base on balls, and was hit for five singles and two two-baggers. After that, Tuck went in to pitch, and though not so wild, was hit harder. Williams got in her only run in the ninth on errors by Wiestling, Edgerly and Foster, and a base hit by Burden. Nichols pitched a fine game, holding the visitors down to four scattered hits, and was well supported...
