...Yale race. The faults of the individuals are somewhat as follows: stroke, keeps his oar too near the water and often hits it; he keeps his oar feathered too long, drops down at the full reach and hangs; yanks in his arms at the finish. Seven is slow in getting out his oar and swings out on the recover; rows well. Six keeps his oar too high on the recover, especially at the full reach; as a consequence he clips. Swings out on the recover and often kicks his slide out behind him so far that he fails to keep...
...this opportunity of congratulating the freshmen on their victory over Yale. It was none the less welcome because expected. Harvard played with determination, but the work of the freshmen was however, at times disappointing. The fielding at two or three points was uncertain, and the outfielders especially were culpably slow. Moreover, Harvard would have stood little chance of winning by her batting if the game had not been played on home grounds. Except in the one inning the work in this particular was anything but satisfactory, and unless a decided improvement comes Yale will win the game at New Haven...

Davis started off with the lead and. unwilling to exert himself, went veryly slow, make the first quarter in 54 seconds. Near the half mile point Smith took the lead, at the same time quickening his pace so that Davis had to ride hard to beat him out. The last quarter was ridden in 40 1-2 seconds...
