...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.

...coming games the team will have a chance to prove that the slump was only temporary, and if every player enters upon the games with the same fighting spirit which cropped out Saturday toward the end of the second half, Harvard can only be defeated by a better team...

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...
