...boat was spacing well. From then on, it was merely a question of whether Claverly could wear down Randolph's lead before the finishing line was reached; this was effected by a final burst of speed just before crossing the line, and Claverly won by a few feet. Matthews lost considerably through bad steering, and was finally run straight into the stake boat, three lengths behind Claverly. Mount Auburn Street came in about a length behind Matthews...
...gain through the second as it should. There was a great falling off in forward passing. This play was worked with considerable success a couple of weeks ago, but yesterday three of Burr's long passes hit the ground without being caught. As a result the University team lost 45 yards in penalties for that play alone. Punts were exchanged frequently on account of the inability of both teams to gain their distance, and Burr had but slight advantage over Coach Daly, who punted for the second. The offense of the University team was weak and their plays usually failed...
...yard line, where Daly punted to Starr. After an exchange of punts, Burr's forward pass hit the ground on the 15-yard line. Aided by a 25-yard run by Cutting, the second got the ball to the University's 30-yard line a second time, where they lost it on a forward pass. The University, after an exchange of punts, rushed the ball to the second's 30-yard line, where Burr made the third forward pass to hit the ground. The team was penalized to the middle of the field and Burr punted to Witmer who fumbled...
...University Football team was given a 25-minute scrimmage yesterday afternoon with the second eleven in a driving rain, each team scoring one touchdown. There were many fumbles on both sides, owing to the slippery ball; but the second gradually lost ground to the 25-yard line, from where the first's touchdown was made by Apollonio after a series of line plays. The second team scored at the end of the scrimmage. After holding the University team for downs on the latter's 20-yard line, they gained three yards through guard, but fumbled on the next play...
...poorly, and Weld came up on Matthews in consequence. When the crews settled down, however, Matthews rapidly overhauled the first boat, getting within a length at the first corner, and about three-quarters of a length shortly after. But in rounding the first and second bends the Matthews coxswain lost his crew at least two lengths, by bad steering. They continued to gain, however, once they were straightened out, and were soon within a length and a quarter of a bump, but could get no nearer. Weld finished about the same distance behind Matthews. Perkins was never in the race...
