...most promising crews under the supervision of Coach Brown Stoughton is probably the most powerful crew on the river, and averages between 160 and 165 pounds. However, their rowing is rough and unfinished, and in a long race, would tell against them. Mount Auburn Street, on the other hand, rows in better form, and pulls a livelier stroke, but fails in point of power. The Claverly eight contains several experienced men and, though as a crew they are rather inclined to be slow and ponderous, the men row in fairly good form and with some power...
...very encouraging. They kept the ball in the second's half of the field until just before the touchdown was made, but were unable to gain consistently through the second's line, and the long end runs were due chiefly to the individual brilliancy of Starr. On the other hand, the second was unable to gain regularly through the University's defense, there being but one time when any steady gains were made. Gilder played a very fast game for the second and made some clever end runs. In fact, the manner in which the second's backs played together...
...closely-played game by the score of 6 to 0. The showing of the Seniors was good, in view of the fact that it was their first scrimmage of the year. As was natural, Harvard fumbled frequently, but never failed to gain first down. Milton, on the other hand, gained first down only once, which was the result of a forward pass.

...Navy's defense on Saturday was very strong, and time and again Harvard tried guard and tackle plays only to be held with no gain. On the other hand, the Navy seemed unable to gain through the University line, and when not punting made most of their gains around the ends. In the second half punts were repeatedly exchanged, Newhall relieving Burr of some of the kicking on account of the latter's injury. With Burr's ankle in good condition, Harvard would have had a great advantage over Douglass, the Navy punter, and as it was, Burr's kicks...
