Excerpts from an account of the only game stated:

"...At this point the time for the first inning was up, and a breathing spell of fifteen minutes was given. At the beginning of the second inning, the University team came up somewhat discouraged, but nevertheless determined to make the other side work for whatever they might secure. They now used several of Lafayette's tricks with good result, and showed that it was but want of skill and practice that they had worked so disastrously in the first part of the game. For a full fifteen minutes, the ball was carried about the field without either side gaining a single point."[6]
