...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 usually rowed at stroke, the other men going in at bow, and the Leander man's rowing was in marked contrast to that of any of the others in its great smoothness and ease.

Behind the line, quarterback is still in some doubt, but DeSaulles will probably play the position, McBride at fullback has made steady improvement throughout the season. His strong points are line bucking, interference and good (though at times unsteady) punting. The halfback positions are apparently as unsettled as they were a week...

...easily and strong. At this point Goodrich ran the stroke up to about 40, and in the spurt cut down Adams's lead to three-quarters of a length. 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...
