...Freshmen. The former gained consistently through Worcester's left guard, the weak place in the Worcester line, and the latter recovered a short forward pass from Gardner for the Freshmen's only score. Felton out-kicked Kelley, but this advantage was more than offset by Melican's ability to regain Kelley's kicks...
...weeks there before leaving for New London. In these few days the crew seemed to go backward rather than forward in its development. A decided hang was developed at the catch, the life and dash of the crew was gone, the stroke was considerably shortened, and Sargent did not regain his form. In the first few days at New London the crew improved materially and seemed to be emerging from its slump, but the work was still not what it should be.

Harvard, rowing between 33 and 34 to the minute, spurted time after time to regain the lost distance; but by raising the stroke whenever the lead was threatened, Annapolis maintained her advantage until close to the finish. At the mile post the University crew seemed to have recovered from the surprise of the start, and did its best work of the day, rowing easily and spacing well...
