...victim, the University securing an early lead by taking two passes, two singles, and two stolen bases. Whitney allowed five hits, and kept them scattered. Vermont was next on the list, and was swamped under a 10 to 1 score, Garritt dealing out but one scant single, while his team-mates got to three of the visiting pitchers for nine hits, and successfully took advantage of seven errors. Two Southern teams next made their appearance. Georgetown was the first, and with Mahan in the box the University had an easy time of it, winning, 6 to 0, after getting...

The crews started from the Cottage Farm Bridge with the Freshmen two lengths in the lead. The latter made a poor start but retrieved themselves and were never decisively headed. Both of the University crews started from scratch. The second which was rowing the Henley distance, jumped ahead but was nosed out by the University at the Harvard Bridge, and there was nearly half a length of open water between the crews...
