...failed to gain outside tackle, but P. D. Smith gained fourteen yards through centre. After two line plays, O'Flaherty tried a forward pass, but was tackled before he could get the ball away and fumbled, Keaney recovering the ball for Bates. The wing shift, a play planned to catch the opposing team unprepared, and draw in the end, failed to gain twice and Keaney punted to Corbett on Harvard's 30-yard line. Corbett ran back the punt 20 yards by clever dodging, but on the next play Harvard was penalized for Smith's starting before the ball...
...mark by the University four. The eight rowed in very short stretches about 30 strokes to the minute, and Coach Wray followed in his single scull, coaching the men on their individual faults. L. Withington at 5 does not seem to get his shoulders on very well at the catch, and Lunt's finish is not yet satisfactory. The whole crew is inclined to tear at the water at the catch instead of dropping the oars in quickly without jerking. In spite of these slight faults, however, the crew continues to show marked improvement with every row. The Freshman eight...
...satisfactory to Coach Wray. After resting a few days the crew resumed work in Cambridge, having about two weeks there before leaving for New London. In these few days the crew seemed to go backward rather than forward in its development. A decided hang was developed at the catch, the life and dash of the crew was gone, the stroke was considerably shortened, and Sargent did not regain his form. In the first few days at New London the crew improved materially and seemed to be emerging from its slump, but the work was still not what it should...
...average fast eight which Coach Kennedy regularly turns out. At New London the crew has rowed two fast time trials and continued to improve. The crew this year seems to be different from the Yale crews of other years. The men seem to row shorter, and the long, hard catch and finish are not so pronounced as in former years. The crew is very well together, and a well-balanced and smoothly-moving combination, although a sinking of the boat and slight check between strokes is perceptible...
...Merritt and Corev, who batted for Philbin. Fels hit to Sides, who failed to touch Merritt as he ran by, and threw to first. Jefferson dropped the ball allowing Merritt to score. Murphy doubled, scoring Corey, and Jefferson drove a long fly to right, Fels coming home after the catch. Logan struck out. In the last of the ninth Princeton went out in order...
