...average. All the scheduled events took place, except the finals of the 220-yards dash, which were postponed until Monday on account of darkness. The hurdle races had very few entries. The best individual performance was by H. F. Cochems 3L, who put the shot 42 feet 1-2 inches, thus breaking the previous Harvard record of 40 feet, 10 1-2 inches. Cochems, however, is ineligible to compete in any intercollegiate games on account of the four-year rule...
...place. Barnard is not Davidson's equal in a rushing game, but in punting he is fully as strong and is clever in kicking goals from the field. Kennedy, left halfback, has recently shown great improvement in his work. He runs well with the ball, is strong on his feet, and is a sure tackler. Potter and Coombs, the ends, are very fast in getting down the field under kicks...

Reid played fullback for a short time, but wrenched his leg slightly and gave way to Brayton. Warren made long gains around the ends and was very successful in shaking off tacklers after his interference had gone to pieces. Fincke, who played in Daly's place at quarter, showed great...
...Hudson, who ran back fifteen yards before he was downed by Donald. Attempts at gaining around Harvard's ends failed, and Miller punted. Gierasch, annoyed by the Indian ends, did not catch the ball cleanly and it rolled to one side. Redwater dropped on it, scrambled to his feet and broke away down a clear field. Daly caught him from behind, but too late to prevent a touchdown. Wheelock missed the goal...
...leading slightly, took Wheelwright's water just at the finish, so that Wheelwright was forced to run into him to keep from going ashore. George finished a half a length ahead, but the race was given to Wheelwright. The race for four oared shells was won by only ten feet with both crews spurting at a high stroke. The best event of the regatta was the race of the eight-oared shells. In the first heat the Sophomores were barely able to win from the Freshmen by half a length. The second heat, between the Law School and the Junior...
