The squad will go on Sunday to Annapolis, where two games with the Naval Academy will be played on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Yale defeated the Navy team on April 10, by a score of 1 to 0, narrowly escaping a tie game by putting Ryden out at the plate, when he was attempting to score a home run on a long hit. In this game, the Navy played brilliantly in the field, but save for Ryden's hit, batted poorly. Last year, Harvard defeated Annapolis in two games, by scores of 13 to 7, and 17 to 5.

On the return trip from Annapolis, the University team will play West Point at West Point on Saturday, April 25. Harvard defeated West point last year in a poorly played game by the score of 14 to 4. the Army team has already won two games this season, having defeated Williams, 5 to 2, and Union College, 3 to 1.
