The nine was easily beaten by Princeton last Saturday, 12-2, in a one-sided game in which Princeton took the lead at the start and forged steadily ahead to the finish.
In the first inning the game was won for Princeton, as Fitz displayed characteristic lack of control and effectiveness and allowed Princeton to drive the ball for six runs. In the innings following he steadied down very perceptibly and then when a stiff up-hill game presented the only opportunity for winning, the whole nine went to pieces and made error after error, allowing Princeton to increase their lead beyond hope of being headed. Such a re-action in fielding came as a keen disappointment to every one who has followed the work of the nine this season. It certainly seems to be inexcusable in men who by this time should have become experienced enough to maintain their self-control even under trying conditions.
For Princeton, Hillebrand Kept Harvard's seven hits well scattered, proving most effective at critical times.
