Harvard had two unfortunate innings, the third and the seventh, in which it did not score. Otherwise things moved along very nicely for everyone but the umpire. He had his hands full and was so overcome by the ease with which Harvard scored that he could not bear to see an opportunity for a tally slip by. Accordingly, after calling Coon safe at second in the fourth inning on a somewhat doubtful decision, he gave that player a safe at the plate when it seemed to many beside the Colby team that he was an easy out.
One of the most encouraging features of the game was the style in which the second string men on the squad played when they were put into the game in the fifth inning. It might be expected that with the score so much in Harvard's favor there would have been a tendency to relax a bit, but such was not the case, and not an error was made by the University team.
