...work of the eleven in the first half was fast and aggressive. In the second half, however, the play lacked fight, and only one touchdown was made, as against three in the first half. Throughout the game, the University team was slow in lining up, Bowdoin repeatedly getting into position before the Harvard men were on their feet. Bowdoin was outweighed and played raggedly both on the offense and defense, but always started quickly, and in the second half took good advantage of the very marked and surprising weakness of the right side of the Harvard line, rushing the ball...

...GALES FERRY, June 10.--At present the chief aim of the crew is gradually to develop a good form from a slow 26 stroke to the far more difficult 32. With this end in view the eight rowed four miles down-stream in long stretches this afternoon, and paddled back over the course at a stroke which varied from 26 to 28 to the minute, except for the last half mile, when it went...
