Brown won the game in the first inning, when a base on balls and a home run gave a lead of two runs. For six innings thereafter the University team played a lifeless and stupid game and refused to score when runs seemed inevitable. Simons opened the seventh, however, with a home run and the possibility of winning instilled a little interest in the game.

...Freshman crew improved slightly during the week. Although the individual men in the boat all show promise, the crew as a whole is still very lifeless.

The second crew has been rowing rather irregularly in the orders...
Although the Freshman crew is fairly well developed for this time of the season, the practice yesterday was lifeless. A tendency to hang at the catch was evident and the stroke was uneven. The boat was unsteady and spaced poorly between strokes...
