...their first race Coolidge's 'fifties showed that even when not rowing their best they could win handily. Working far too hard for their time of 7.23, the Crimson oarsmen finished two lengths ahead of Crowland, who never fell below thirty-six. Shortly after the race Mel Hodder, number five man in the Crimson boat, was taken to the hospital with stomach pains and underwent an operation.

The Indians took a 6-0 lead on a touchdown and conversion after five minutes of the first quarter, and held the varsity on even terms until they pushed over another touchdown late in the fourth period. It was not a particularly good year for the Crimson; the team lost to Yale that fall...
