The game which the freshmen put up against Princeton last Saturday was a disappointment. Their fielding toward the close of the game was very poor, and no excuse could be offered for the six errors. These errors took all life from Harvard's playing; without them Princeton would have made just three runs; with them, she made eleven. To be sure Princeton touched up Ames heavily in the last two innings, making nine hits, with a total of eleven, but these hits were made mostly after chances had been given to retire the side, and with good support Ames would have allowed only one run in these disastrous innings.
It really did not make much difference what sort of a game Harvard put up at the bat, when she fielded so bunglingly, and yet the spectacle was piteous. Eleven hits were made, and only two runs resulted. Here Princeton's superiority was very marked. Her batsmen worked well together, and their hits came in bunches. The freshmen did not throw into their work the life and dash that bring victory; they seemed contented when they had men on bases, and, as a matter of fact, they left twelve of them. Princeton played a very steady game throughout, and deserved her victory. Anderson's timely hitting was the feature of the game. In five times at bat, he made four hits with a total of six, and brought in four men. The score:
PRINCETON '96.
