...dual games with Pennsylvania held Saturday afternoon on Holmes Field resulted in a victory for Harvard by 57 points to 55. When the games were finished the score was a tie, but Orton had been protested for fouling Fenno in the half-mile run and, the protest being sustained, one point was transferred from Pennsylvania to Harvard. The games were probably the most interesting ever held in Cambridge, being full of hard fought contests and leaving the result in doubt to the very...

For the last mile they rowed a very plucky race, Hollister doing the work of half the crew, but the stroke was outclassed...
