The game yesterday was interesting and well played. The University of Vermont sent a good team to represent it, and our nine scored only in three innings. Harvard played a spirited and almost errorless game. Dickinson was weak at third, muffing a fly and throwing a prettily stopped grounder so wild to first that the base runner came in before the ball could be found. Dean and Hovey covered their territory finely and put a great deal of snap into their work. Bates, though very wild, was effective, and allowed only four hits. He was especially good at watching the men on bases and threw out several runners at second very prettily. Upton backed him upwell. At the bat the nine did good work, bunching their hits effectively.

Most of our runs were made in the sixth inning, when seven successive base hits brought in seven runs. The Vermont men seemed to lose their heads and base after base was stolen by daring running. In the seventh inning Vermont changed pitchers. The new man proved very wild and in two innings gave five bases on balls and made three wild pitches. Nevertheless we were unable to score, none of the necessary sacrifices being forthcoming.

The score:
