...held on the evening of the seventeenth. Instead of the two first crews having a separate race, it is probable that all four graded crews will race together. The distance of the Freshman race, which will be rowed on November eleventh, has been shortened to one mile and a half. Three crews from each club will take part in this race...
...blocked. Kendall was not so successful as a rusher. He was frequently slow in starting and often allowed Coombs to down him for losses. He was replaced by Warren in the last five minutes on account of a minor injury to his leg. Reid was used in the first half on account of his defensive ability, and was of great assistance in stopping the guards-back play. In spite of his bad ankle he was energetic and effective on the offense. Ellis, however, surpassed him in bucking the line, for he hurdled the line or dashed into it with...

The latter made some longer punts in the next half when he had the wind in his favor and gained over Coombs on every exchange. He was well supported by Campbell who made every punt count for its full distance...

Daly punted out to Hallowell and Lawrence kicked the goal. More punting followed in Hallowell's favor. Burnett tried for a goal from the 51-yard line after a fair catch but failed. Finally Harvard se- cured the ball on downs on Pennsylvania's 20-yard line and soon pushed Ellis over for the third and last touchdown. Lawrence missed the goal...
