...final match of the season, the University cricket team decisively defeated Pennsylvania on Soldiers Field Saturday. Against 42 runs made by Pennsylvania, the University team at the fall of the fourth wicket, declared their innings, having made 83 runs. The victory is especially satisfying, as Pennsylvania in a drawn game last week made a superior showing over Haverford, the team which on Thursday defeated Harvard by the score of 186 runs...
...recently against the strong teams of Lynn and Pawtucket. The fielding especially has shown a marked improvement lately. Carter and Tyng, the regular bowlers have developed well and are dangerous, but cannot always be relied on. Taylor and Drinkwater are the change bowlers.

Morris almost immediately, and Pasea and Justice followed soon after, the former being caught by De Motte, the latter bowled by Scott.

...considerably stronger than last year, when defeated by Haverford. In bowling, the old Haverford players, Justice and Hinchman, are both very effective, and O. Chew '03, who has developed promisingly of late, is a good change bowler. Hinchman, Mifflin, Mather and Pasea are all strong batters. Mifflin will keep wicket for Harvard. The chief weakness of the team is in the fielding which has been erratic at times. Altogether the two teams are well matched, although the chances seem to be slightly in Harvard's favor...
