...University crews took a rather hard row, yesterday afternoon, to Harvard bridge and back in unchanged orders. Both eights rowed in short stretches to the Longwood bridge, under the coaching of Mr. Higginson. Here the crews were started for a mile stretch down-stream. At first the second crew drew ahead until they led the first crew by half a length, but when both eights put the stroke up slightly, the first gained again, finishing even with the second...
...giving one base on balls. At the bat, however, he failed to make a hit. Matthews was unsteady at second base, made two errors and failed to get a hit.

The time was 10 minutes and 1-5 second, which is perhaps the best ever made on the river, allowing for the disadvantages of wine and tide...
Greenough's batting was creditable. He came to bat four times, made three singles, and drew a base on balls. Tuckerman was the stronger of the two pitchers, and only the weak batting of the Harvard team prevented them from winning the game...
