...yard line. A forward pass was tried again unsuccessfully and Heath and Foster again gained well on their skin-tackle and line-bucking plays. When at last they were held for downs on 1912's 40-yard line, they stole the ball on the next play and ran the length of the field for a touchdown, but this was not allowed and the Sophomores were forced to kick. Stebbins recovered the punt, and on the next play took the ball, on a wide end run, to the Juniors' 8-yard line. Three line bucks were unable to bring the touchdown...
...were unable to hold this lead, however, for Thayer, with a short, fast stroke, quickly caught and passed them. Randolph and Russell, who were nearest the Cambridge shore then fell a little behind, rowing a slow, clean stroke. Claverly and Mt. Auburn street were following, nearly even, about a length of open water behind Thayer. Just above the Harvard bridge, Russell and Randolph put up the stroke, and gained rapidly on Thayer, but the latter was able to sprint although it had been rowing the same high stroke all the way.

All men should report at their boathouses, dressed to row, at 3 o'clock as any crew that is not on the line at 3.30 will...
...given the ball in different parts of the field to test its opponent's defence. Wendell scored both touchdowns for the first team, the first one after a series of line plays from the second's 35-yard line, and the second following an advance of two-thirds the length of the field on sensational end runs and a fake kick play by Graustein. Both the second team's scores were due to forward passes. Holbrook recovered one and ran 20 yards for a touchdown, and Lawson scored the other.The line...
