Harvard was defeated by Haverford Saturday on Soldiers Field by the score of 99 to 101 not out. The game was played in a drizzling rain which became harder as the game progressed, softening the ground enough to affect the bowling considerably. Harvard's bowling suffered more from this than Haverford's, but there were other causes which contributed to the outcome. Haverford's bowling was swift, accurate and effective and their batting was very reliable. Harvard fielded miserably, but this was partly due to the slippery condition of the field.
The game was begun at 11.45 with Harvard at bat and Hinchman and Drinkwater at the wickets. Hinchman was caught out by C. C. Morris almost immediately, and Pasea and Justice followed soon after, the former being caught by De Motte, the latter bowled by Scott. When the intermission was called at one o'clock Drinkwater and Mifflin were at the wickets. Shortly after the game was resumed Mifflin went out on a fly to De Motte but Drinkwater with Tyng as his companion at the bat continued to guard his wicket. His stand was cut short, however, when he slid at full length on the slippery grass and was run out. The remaining men went out quickly under the swift balls of Scott and Patton.
Haverford started in at the bat with the brilliant hitting of C. C. Morris, who stood with Wood and then with Patton. Several chances were missed by Fairweather, Tyng and Moore in the field, but Mather's excellent work at the wickets was a redeeming feature of the last part of the game. Stumps were drawn at 4 o'clock in a pouring rain with only four wickets down. The summary follows:
