That the University team was able to do no better work on the offense was partly due to Noyes' generalship and inaccurate passing. Nicho s did the best work in advancing the ball, and in addition to his long run for a touchdown made several substantial gains around right end. Hanley also did creditable work in line-bucking and hurdling. He was steady on his feet, and several times hurdled the line for fair gains. Robinson was put in at left guard in the second half and proved very effective in stopping the plays through his side of the line...
...again laid off and Hartwell took his place. This afternoon the crew rowed a mile at a 35 stroke in fairly good form. The men, however, were less steady on their stretchers than yesterday and the day before, and the hitch between strokes was more in evidence, even with due allowance for the generally higher stroke. The four-oared had a time row this afternoon and covered the two-mile course in 11 minutes and 50 seconds. The stroke was 32 for the first mile and a half and 34 for the last half. Ober rowed at bow and Webster...
...morning the eight rowed four miles in long stretches keeping the stroke at about thirty. At this stroke, the shell stopped noticeably between strokes and the men were unable either to begin the recovery as rapidly or finish it as slowly, as is desired. These faults were due to the bow men, who rushed forward ahead of the others. In the afternoon, while paddling down to the start, the crew succeeded in keeping the recovery slow, and spaced about eight feet. Notwithstanding this improvement the boat was rather unsteady and the men kept poor time. During the first three miles...
...University four also took a time row yesterday afternoon in which they covered the two miles in the very slow time of 13m. and still showed very poor form, largely due to the fact that they have rowed together only a few days. Ober and Derby were tried for a time at bow and two, respectively, but in the time row Hartwell was put at bow and Derby at two. Dillingham has been elected captain of the four...
...Holy Cross baseball team defeated the University nine at Worcester on Saturday in a closely contested game by the score of 2 to 1. The team played a hard, clean game, the defeat being largely due to two costly errors by Stephenson and Coolidge, and to the excellent Fielding of the Holy Cross outfield. Only one member of the team struck out during the entire game and ten outfield hits were made, many of which offered difficult chances...
