Pennsylvania vs. Harvard.

The first intercollegiate cricket match of the season was played last Saturday on the fine grounds of the Philadelphia Cricket club. Harvard was defeated in an innings, but a defeat at the hands of a team which includes four men who are to represent Philadelphia in England this year, is no disgrace, and the practice obtained by playing against Pennsylvania's strong bowlers will be an invaluable preparation for the game against Haverford next week, when we may hope for better success.

Harvard on winning the toss promptly decided to bat, but the beginning was most disastrous. Six good wickets fell for but one run, and had it not been for the plucky stand by Austrian and Lee, the total would have been insignificant. As it was the innings finally closed for 37, a poor score even against such strong bowlers. Patterson's bowling record of five wickets for no runs in twelve balls, is worthy of notice as the best on record in a first class match.

A prosperous beginning was now made in the field, when 3 good wickets fell for 12 runs; but H. I. Brown and Griscom made a long stand, carrying the total up to 48 before the former was well caught by Lee. Wickets now fell slowly, but regularly, the last man, Patterson, being disposed of just as 130 was posted. Griscom's 51 was a first class performance. Brown had the best bowling average. The total (130) was by no means a high one, and it might have been considerably reduced by quicker work in the field.

In face of a sure defeat Harvard braced up in the batting in the second inning, and finally reached the respectable total of 102. Austrian again came off with 35 to his credit, Balch and Butters adding substantial assistance with 12 each. The batting of the new men was very satisfactory, and showed the result of practice. Though the game was now practically finished, it was concluded to go on for the benefit of the spectators, and Pennsylvania had scored 50 for 3 wickets when time was called. Appended is the score:
