...yesterday afternoon. The course was up Garden street to Fresh Pond, around the pond, down Brattle street to Mason street and from there across the Common to the Gymnasium. About forty men came out. There were no hares and there was no break at the finish. The pace was faster than that of last week, and the distance covered about five miles. The next run will be held on Wednesday...
Harvard's offense, in contrast to the defense, was full of faults, the most fatal of which was fumbling. Against a team playing faster and more accurate football than Pennsylvania, a dropped ball would result in a touchdown for the opponents.

The old launch could not hold more than about fourteen people comfortably. The "Frank Thompson" is finished completely in mahogany...
