...University crew was given light practice yesterday afternoon in the new shell built by Davy. The chief fault was in the checking of the boat, which has been apparent for some time and which was due largely to the fact that the men started the body movement and leg drive before the oars were well anchored.

In the first half Cornell seemed the stronger team, and though the half ended with the score 3 to 2 in Harvard's favor, two of these goals were due solely to the weakness of Cornell's goal. Cornell's defence was especially successful in covering Harvard's attack...
