Play began at 2.47 o'clock, Harvard having the ball and the east goal. Harding rushed, and aided by good blocking and clever dodging on his own part, carried the ball twenty yards; short rushes by Goldthwaite, Lee, Blanchard, and Harding again, carried the ball well down towards Wesleyan's goal line, but here Harvard lost the ball for holding in the line. Lee secured the ball on Hall's punt, and again it was forced down the field only to be lost again for the same offence. At this point Harding was injured, and Dennison took his place...
Wesleyan began the second half by a rush, but Stickney secured the ball from Peck. Lee, Dennison and Blanchard forced the ball rapidly towards Wesleyan's line, and Dennison finally by a clever rush had the ball down within three yards of the line, but the referee decided that Harvard had forfeited the ball for interference at the fifteen yard line. The ball was soon secured again, and forced close to Wesleyan's line, but lost for off-side play. Saxe stopped Hall's punt, and Dean and Cumnock dropped on the ball. Lee found the hole made...

...occur about May 6. It is more than likely that the 'varsity and the Athletic Club crews will row against each other on the same day. It has been found that the new Harvard bridge, not withstanding the breadth of its spans, will cause considerable difficulty, and some very clever steering will be required of the coxswains. Two of the four class crews will probably pass under the span nearest the draw on one side and two under the corresponding span on the other. The positions will be determined by lot in ample time to give each crew a chance...
