...stride on the last lap. The one-mile handicap proved to be an excellent contest. With the leaders constantly changing, P. Newton '11, who, with forty yards handicap was virtually scratch man, gained steadily. With one hundred yards to go he made an excellent sprint, but was unable to catch the leader, finishing three yards in the rear. Four men from the University qualified in the trial heats of the 440-yard handicap dash, the last regular event. F. H. Storms '14, with twenty-four yards allowance, took the lead in the final and was not headed. His time...
...period, Corbett took Campbell's place. After the ball had been rushed from midfield to Yale's 36-yard line, Harvard kicked to Yale's 5-yard line. One the next play Howe kicked out of bounds on the 30-yard line, thus preventing Harvard from making a fair catch. From here Wendell's excellent line plunging carried the ball to Yale's 16-yard line. On the next play, on the 14-yard line, Corbett fumbled, Daly recovering the ball for Yale. Howe immediately kicked and for the rest of the game Yale forced the play back towards Harvard...
...showing of the graded crews this fall has been very poor. Scarcely enough men have reported at either boathouse to form two crews, so the development has necessarily been slow. Both boats have shown a tendency to hang at the catch, and space poorly, but the Newell crew has been together longer, and therefore has a better rhythm and can keep the shell on a more even keel. A number of the men rowed on the same dormitory crew, and their improvement in the last few days has been more rapid, so that the Newell crew is expected...
...starboard side, Captain Cutler has filled in well at 7, and should be as effective next spring as he has always been on the port side at stroke. At the beginning of the fall rowing the slide work and the proportion of the stroke at the catch and finish was mediocre. Gradually, however, the crew has improved on these lines, and the rowing of the eight is now marked by a good, hard leg-drive and a splendid finish. During the past week Coach Wray has been trying to eliminate a slight tendency to hang, instead of turning around quickly...
Cornell kicked over the goal-line and the ball was put in play on the 25-yard line, Minot punting to Butler on Cornell's 46-yard line. O'Connor regained the catch fumbled by Butler. The former made 7 yards around left end, and Simson netted only two through centre. O'Connor then made it first down through right tackle. Bates was thrown for a loss, and on the next play Harvard regained the ball on a forward pass which went out of bounds. Three successive rushes by Wendell netted 26 yards, and Morrison made five more through right...
