...Saturday afternoon on Soldiers Field. On the whole, the game was rather uninteresting, and the only sensational features were the two successive end runs by MacKay and Young of 30 yards each, which immediately preceded Brown's touchdown. The Brown team greatly outweighed the Freshman and had better team work, but the individual playing of Crowley, Harding, Smith, Barbour, and Corbett was so good, that Brown had only a shade the better of it. The Freshman backs did not particularly distinguish themselves, though Cutler out punted MacKay by a good margin...

...crews under the supervision of Coach Brown Stoughton is probably the most powerful crew on the river, and averages between 160 and 165 pounds. However, their rowing is rough and unfinished, and in a long race, would tell against them. Mount Auburn Street, on the other hand, rows in better form, and pulls a livelier stroke, but fails in point of power. The Claverly eight contains several experienced men and, though as a crew they are rather inclined to be slow and ponderous, the men row in fairly good form and with some power...
