...Grant made one remarkably good tackle, but his work was not otherwise noticeable. Hall punted well but lost a chance for another touchdown by failing to get a ball, fumbled near Bowdoin's goal-line. Hanley, whose work so far had been unsatisfactory, braced up and played a hard game. The Bowdoin team were very light and the line was unable to hold. Their secondary defence was fair, but the punting, especially in the first half, was very uncertain...

In spite of this, however, every one played with determination and covered his ground well, as was shown by the few long gains made by either eleven...
...afternoon, as it was raining hard, the University and four-oar crews did not leave the quarters, where returns from the Harvard-Yale baseball game were received. The Freshman eight and four-oar rowed to the Navy Yard and back. Their work was very satisfactory...
