Yale wins the Freshman Game.

Yale '94, I6; Harvard '94, I3.The freshman game of Saturday was interesting and exciting. Crowds of spectators, tremendous cheering, hard hitting and numberous errors, made Holmes Field, in spite of the cold, a very interesting place to spend the afternoon. Yale started off with a lead of six runs at the end of the second inning which Harvard in her half of the sixth for a moment overcame. But in the second half of the sixth Yale made six more runs, and for the remaining innings the result was hardly in doubt, though Harvard made a desperate fight at the last moment. The Yale freshmen batted harder than ours and bunched their hits better. The Harvard freshmen, on the other hand, fielded much more cleanly than their opponents. Several of the errors which they did make, however, were very costly. A few brilliant plays produced great and merited applause. In the third inning with the bases full and one man out, Skinker knocked a foul which it seemed impossible for Corbett to catch. Corbett, however, thought differently. He made a wonderful running catch and turned quickly enough to field out at the plate the Yale man who had tried to come in from third, thus retiring the side. Case pitched a better game than Minton, striking out ten men to the latter's two. Quigley played prettily at short and Cabot well at third except for one very costly error. Lowell and Dickinson also covered their, bases well. Lowell did the hard hitting for Harvard. McCormick's batting for Yale was extraordinary, his home run in the seventh rolling clear across the Law School tennis courts.
