Harvard began the game with a rush and scored three goals in quick succession--all the result of shots by Hardy. Cornell seemed bewildered at the start, but improved later and kept Harvard's score down to four goals for the first half. In the second half the teams were much more evenly matched, and, although Harvard scored four goals, Cornell played a faster game and succeeded in making one point by the skillful individual playing of E. P. Smith...
...Newell graded crews are now rounding into form. The first has been over the course twice and the second once. The first crew is well together, but lacks a strong finish; the second has difficulty in keeping the boat on an even keel and tends to rush forward badly...
Harvard defeated Yale in the dual track games on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon by the score of 62 1-2 points to 41 1-2. The meet throughout was very interesting. Yale started with a rush, winning four of the first five events, but in the next four Harvard made 29 points out of a possible 32. After this the games were no longer in doubt. Harvard scored in every event, while Yale failed to take a point in either of the jumps or the two-mile run. On the track Harvard scored 36 points to Yale...

Just before the end of the half Harvard scored again and the aggressive playing seemed to assure another goal when time was called. Yale's superiority lay in her faster forwards, while Harvard was clearly superior on the defense. Vanderpool, at coverpoint, played a brilliant game for Harvard and was ably backed up by Russell and Barrows. Goodridge was the best of the forwards...
