After losing yesterday's game, Harvard's chances for the championship are well nigh gone. By winning the four remaining games we shall get the first place, but only by a decided improvement can we do this. If we lose again to Princeton on Saturday, we will have no hope whatever. The nine has shown that it could play a strong game and we hope that from now on it will retrieve itself. Saturday's game must be won, but cannot be by any such listless, weak playing as was seen yesterday...

McClintock hit a grounder to Corning who stopped it, but unfortunately threw it away over Willard's head into the crowd and the three men scored. Fumbles by Howland and Linn...
...Cartwright, Puritan Canoe club. The start was a flying one, the men being given one minute in which to cross the line. Cartwright crossed the line on the wrong side of the stake boat and lost much time in returning and crossing again. Crowninshield was the first to get away. He was followed thirty seconds later by Batchelder, and Cartwright was thirty-nine seconds behind Batchelder. The relative order was not changed throughout the race, and Crowninshield won easily; Soon after Crowninshield had crossed the line the wind died out completely...
