...signal, Randolph and Claverly got away first and led for about 50 yards. They were unable to hold this lead, however, for Thayer, with a short, fast stroke, quickly caught and passed them. Randolph and Russell, who were nearest the Cambridge shore then fell a little behind, rowing a slow, clean stroke. Claverly and Mt. Auburn street were following, nearly even, about a length of open water behind Thayer. Just above the Harvard bridge, Russell and Randolph put up the stroke, and gained rapidly on Thayer, but the latter was able to sprint although it had been rowing the same...
...held yesterday afternoon in the Stadium. The first team played for about twenty minutes against the second team, scoring five touchdowns; then two substitute teams played another half of the same length. The work of the University team was very good on the defence though they were a little slow on the offence.

The Freshmen were able to gain consistently throughout the game, especially on end plays, and only fumbles prevented a much larger score. The Freshmen far outweighed their opponents, but were slow in starting and the backs had to run practically without interference...
