...ball and Wood carries it down the field. Saxe's kick is stopped by the William's rushers and Beldon falls on it. The Williams quarter back makes a foul and Harvard takes the ball in the middle of the field. It is passed to Porter who carries it behind the goal posts. Goal. Score, 12-0. Williams tries the same tactics but Kimball only advances a few yards. Morse stops Roland's run and the ball goes to Harvard. Sanford tackles Wood well, but Harvard drives the Williams men down the field and Harding goes over the line...
...water. He comes to America desiring to speak to American students on the subject which he has most at heart. The addresses that he has made during the autumn at Williams and Yale have aroused great interest, and inspired much serious thought. Harvard certainly ought not to be behind other colleges in readiness to is to an earnest and scholarly Christian; a broad-minded man of to day, who comes in a peculiarly friendly capacity as a delegate from the universities of the old country. We understand that Professor Drummond's meetings, which are definitely announced only for Sunday...
...11/2 mile flag Columbia was over three lengths behind, and the gap between the two boats was widening at every stroke. The eel-grass certainly was having an effect which urged Harvard on to greater efforts. To those who have never seen the course, it may be of interest to know that it is not eel-grass itself that causes all the trouble. The grass does not get caught in the oars and clog the course of the boat, but it deadens the water, making the tide much weaker than it is in the west side in the channel...
...Harvard following with thirty-five. At about this point the race was one of the prettiest ever seen on the river. The men in both eights were pulling beautifully, and the outcome was still decidedly unsettle. Yale passed the mile in 5 m. 20 s., with Harvard three seconds behind. In a short time the boats would reach the eel-grass where Yale hoped to row away from Harvard, as Harvard had done with Columbia a few days before. Her hopes were realized in a large degree, Harvard's men becoming somewhat exhausted in their efforts to keep even with...
...there was no such luck, on the contrary, Yale seemed to redouble her efforts and began to leave Harvard further behind at every stroke. Yale was now rowing about thirty-five and Harvard thirty-four, which seemed to be the average strokes of the two crews. One or two of the Harvard eight seemed to be weakening somewhat and their work was rather ragged. Yale was pulling a long, even stroke, and with the exception of No. 2, all seemed in good condition. Yale passed the three mile flag in 17 m. 81/2 s., Harvard being about three lengths behind...
