...Although handicapped by the loss of two of their best point-winners, the wearers of the official Harvard Crimson were invincible in every event but one. The ha-ha boys had their arms so well trained from writing innumerable jokes that they won the majority of points in the shot-put. The other events in the meet were easy meat for the news gatherers. The Monthly and Advocate tried to bride the press representatives, but in spite of their efforts the Associated Press sleuth-hounds flashed the score over the country...
...Freshmen have had a fairly successful season, winning four and tying one of the seven games they have played. The fielding of the team is good, and although they have been week at the bat, they have shown marked improvement during the last week, Mckay has been pitching excellent ball the whole season, allowing but few hits, usually well scattered...

The team also showed far more life and spirit than had been seen since the Annapolis game. Having new men in the infield seems to have livened matters up considerably...

A few hits on Harvard's part in last Saturday's game would have changed the aspect considerably, and it may be expected that the team will secure several hits today instead...
...Freshmen rowed a very heady race, although the boat did not go as smoothly as it has in practice. They were certain of the distance, and at the finish were well rowed out. The Sophomores were not in as good form as they were early in the week. They were not as well together as usual, and after the first half-mile they clipped the stroke badly. The two crews may be well compared by the strokes they rowed. The Freshmen maintained a rate of 34 all over the course, while the Sophomores were rowing...
