...were good at stopping the second's attack. But the second team was a good on the defence and broke up most of its opponents' plays. Withington showed up especially well in the scrimmage. R. Brown and Houston, the ends, did good work in breaking up interference, but were slow in getting down the field on punts. Smith, Sprague and West were in the preliminary signal practice but did not play...
Browne at quarterback did good work and handled the ball well, especially on the forward passes. Cutler, who took his place in the last half, ran the team in good shape and helped the runners. Smith at halfback, although slow and uncertain, was a good ground gainer and kept his feet. White and Sprague both showed up well in the second half, particularly the latter, whose punt over the heads of the Bowdoin backs was a feature of the game...

New men have had to be found for stroke, 5, 4, 2, and coxswain, but the veterans were not shifted from the seats that they held last year. At New Haven Yale was hampered by poor weather and rough water for a long time, and even after going to Gales Ferry there has been considerable complaint on account of rough water. The Yale crew this year is a well-balanced, smooth-moving combination. The men can send their shell along with considerable speed and in New Haven...

The shell was taken downstream about two miles and a half in long stretches at a slow stroke in order to help shake the crew together.

The Freshman four went downstream about two miles and returned...
Leonard began the third inning by hitting a slow grounder to Barry. The latter came in fast and made a very swift low throw which bounded into the grandstand. Leonard almost had the ball beaten at first and came home on the play. Holy Cross tied the score in the fourth when, with two out, Carney hit over Aronson's head for a home run. Aronson misjudged the ball, and instead of running back, came in and jumped for it, but missed it by three feet...
