...Haughton '99, of Brookline, full-back, has played tackle for two years, but this is his first year behind the line. He has played on the 'Varsity nine for two years. Age 21, height 6 ft. 1 in., weight...
...work of Harvard's backs was particularly poor, especially on the defensive. On the offensive, the chief fault was the fumbling behind the line which in great part accounted for Harvard's small score. Spear at left tackle played a brilliant game for Worcester, and to his strong playing are due the three touchdowns scored against the Freshmen. Though the eleven alone is to blame for this defeat, the team is a strong one, and with a week's practice before it, should improve...
...Lehmann had a few of the candidates out on the river yesterday afternoon for tubbing practice. Both he and Mr. Willis were in their boating clothes, one going in at stroke while the other acted as coxswain. Thus all the men had the advantage of rowing behind a finished oar.

Willis's blade work is perfect, and in every way he is a model...

With Cadwalader at centre, Brown and Marshall the guards, and Rodgers and Chamberlin as tackles, the rest of the line should make a fair showing.

They finished in this order, although Goodrich's crew was coming fast at the end. Perkins's was a length behind, while Higginson's came on three length's farther back. No time was taken, as it was quite dark when the crews finished. It was necessary afterwards for the launch to go to the assistance of two of the crews, who had shipped so much water...
