Sprague at six has come down very much in weigh, although he is still the heaviest man in the boat, weighing at present 179 pounds. He sits in the boat beautifully, but gets a little extra body swing at the full reach and is apt to be slow in driving his legs...
...coaching has been for the most part on blade work, and, with the exception of two, who is a little slow, the port side is much better than the starboard. The starboard side is very ragged, and none of the oars go in together; three's oar particularly is high and late. The now four are inclined to be weak and short on the leg work...
...Harvard's ragged fielding. Newton won the game in the first inning, when she scored four runs on three base hits by Woodcock and Draper, a two base hit by Mason, a single by Bustard, and errors by Scannell and Paine.

Harvard won the toss and went in first to bat. As Lowell only scored 27 runs, less than 60 per cent. of the Harvard score, they started their second innings immediately after the first was over. Owing to the weakness of Harvard's bowling...
