...prominently was that of Brickley, H. Hardwick, Freedley, Handy, and the first team line as a whole. The first two named succeeded in making long gains, while their team-mate in the backfield, Bradlee, was most useful at interference and charging. Logan at quarterback used a great deal of snap in running the team. Freedley's good work, it can be seen above, was in defending his goal against the long charges of the first team backs. He was spilled once by interference, but twice saved a score by good tackling. Handy played substitute back on the second team...
Ostregren played a fine game for Holy Cross, making a number of hard stops around the initial sack, and connecting safely in three of his five times at bat. The other members of the Holy Cross team seemed to lack snap, and could not hit with men on bases. Gans's throwing arm was a bit weak, and a wild throw by him to second base allowed Wigglesworth to score in the second inning...

The Middlesex crew was about twenty-five pounds lighter to the man than the second Freshman crew, but pressed the Freshmen closely by rowing with a great deal of snap at a high stroke...

The Sophomores and Seniors continued to row evenly together up to within 100 yards of the finish.

...upper class crews the Sophomores have made the best showing of late, rowing well, together and getting strength and snap into their stroke from catch to finish. The Juniors have a good crew, however, and in spite of the misfortune of losing their stroke in mid-season, should make a good showing in the race. The Senior crew, made up from a small amount of material at the beginning, has been rather unsteady all spring, with some slight improvement during the past week...
