...Tuckerman '03 won the round robin golf tournament at Oakley yesterday afternoon by defeating R. E. Daniels '05, 2 up and 1 to play in an eighteen hole match. Both men putted poorly, which was, however, due in a measure to the rough condition of the greens. Daniels secured the lead at first by well directed approach shots, but Tuckerman evened the match at the turn and the score remained even till the fifteenth. Tuckerman won the fifteenth and sixteenth in bogey, and halved the seventeenth, thus winning the match...

Most of the touchdowns were due to long gains around the end by Kernan, Knowles, Hurley and Putnam by which the ball was brought with in scoring distance and was then carried over by Knowlton. Marshall made some long runs on punts...
...eights have gained a long even swing, but have gained this at the expense of snap and life. Any attempt to enliven the work is invariably accompanied by a rushed recovery. The men are slow at both ends of the stroke, especially at the finish. This unsatisfactory work is due very largely to repeated absences of the oarsmen; on several days the first crew has not rowed...
