During the last three weeks the class crews have been getting into final shape for the race next Friday. It is difficult to make any comparison as to the relative speed of the different crews as none of them have rowed together. The Senior crew, which during the early part of the season developed rapidly, has lately shown a tendency to shorten the stroke at the finish.

...goal. Columbia made a foul shortly afterwards, and on the penalty kick Osborne scored an easy goal for Harvard. In the second half the University forwards showed a more concerted attack. Greene, in the middle of the half, took the ball down the field to Gordon, who shot a difficult goal...
...Harvard completely outplayed Columbia. During the entire first half the Harvard attack kept the ball in Columbia's territory.

The only goal was made by Mendel for 1906 on a pretty shot from a difficult angle. The Seniors strengthened their attack in the second half and kept the play for the greater part of the time in the Juniors' territory, but owing to the very strong defense of their opponents near the goal, failed to score more than once. Phillips, Adams and Pratt played...
