...second race Russell duplicated its feat of Tuesday by bumping the crew ahead of it, Dunster-Dana-Drayton, within one hundred yards of the start. Mt. Auburn street and Brentford, at the head of the river, in positions one and two respectively, could not gain on one another up to the first bend. Just before and during the first part of the second bend, however, Mt. Auburn street increased its lead, and although Brentford gained again as the crews came into the home-stretch, Mt. Auburn street pulled away at the finish...
...Campbell, who ran in 20 yards to his 35-yard line, whence by line plays the ball was worked steadily to the Freshman's 40-yard line. Here a penalty advanced the ball to the 30-yard line. After two line plays, on which the opposing forwards allowed a gain of only five yards, Lewis kicked a field-goal from the 25-yard line...
After holding a short signal drill against the substitutes, in which no tackling was allowed, the Freshman football team played two 12-minute periods against the second University team, during which neither side scored. The Freshmen could not gain on straight football, but recovered a number of kicks and fumbles, while the second, though much stronger on the offence, missed two attempted field-goals, and lost several opportunities for touchdowns through fumbling. Ohler, Jenckes, Gardiner and Dana played well...
...Oxford street. The Oxford street crew decided to enter the race at the last minute, thus making five crews in each division. All the crews took racing starts off the mark at the gun, but Randolph was the only crew which was well together, and it immediately began to gain on Thayer. Chanler, at stroke, lowered the beat but very little after the start and kept driving his crew until it had bumped Thayer shortly before the first bend. Both crews then dropped out of the race. Oxford street, which started in last position, was out of the race almost...
...only a yard on two line plays and Corbett fumbled, Surles getting the ball and making 10 yards before being tackled. McDonald at once punted out of danger to his 50-yard line, and Frothingham ran back 15 yards before he was thrown. Graustein replaced Frothingham, but did not gain on the next play. Potter kicked to West Point's 4-yard line, and on a short return kick Harvard got the ball on the Army's 27-yard line. Potter's long forward pass was intercepted by McDonald, and time was up with the ball in West Point...
