...their half of the ninth the Freshmen started to even things up. Harrison hit for three bases and scored when a throw to catch him off third was missed. Heinz walked, Ayres popped to third, and de Rahm hit, stealing to second. Powell's fly to right was not deep enough to score on, and Safford was unable to connect, making the third...
Both American crews commanded much attention on their arrival in England. The Harvard eight, which rowed exceptionally well together, combined a slow, even recovery and a hard catch to such an extent that the critics immediately gave them serious consideration. The visit of two American eights did much to establish a more congenial relationship between English and American sports in general, rowing in particular. Friendliness and good-will were abundant, and the Harvard victory was popular beyond expectation. The visitors were treated like the English college eights, and every mark of courtesy and English hospitality was shown them. The response...
Brickley kicked off again, this time over the goal. The ball was put in scrimmage on the 20-yard line, an off-side penalty on Harvard advancing it five. Three more plays failing to gain the required distance, Bates punted to Logan, who made a fair catch on his own 42-yard line. The ball was given to Mahan, but his interference was late and he was tackled for a loss of five yards. He punted to Bates' 25-yard line, the runback netting five. The first play lost a yard. The next caught Hardwick off his guard, Keeney making...
With perhaps an eighth of a mile left, Harvard still had a few feet on her opponents. Then Appleton instituted his final spurt, bringing the two crews even again. One crew would spring ahead slightly when it was pulling and the other recovering for a new catch. In this fashion, they raced to the finish. As it happened, Yale was pulling and Harvard recovering when the line was crossed. By so fine a margin was the victory determined. This race, captured by a single stroke, is likely to remain the most remarkable in the history of the two universities...
...Harvard crews are all primed for the races. The University boat has taken on new life since Murray and Solicy changed places. The men have learned to hold on to their finish, and their catch is hard. The second eight has rivalled the first boat closely all season, and the Freshman eight, which developed most slowly, has in the last few days rounded into commendable form...
