Below the bridge the interest of the race centred on the third Newell and the first Weld. The stroke of the Weld crew was, at this point, somewhat increased, and resulted in the whole crew rushing their slides. The Newell crew kept up a long, steady stroke through the whole race. About half a mile below the bridge the third Newell took the lead, in spite of the fact that the first Weld had been a quarter of a length ahead, and that the Newell crew was rowing the slower stroke. The Newell boat was unable to keep its lead...
Good judgment in running the team, more speedy execution of plays, and remarkable ground-gaining ability made Marshall's showing deservedly conspicuous. In addition to his long run for a touchdown, he made several gains on kicks of 30 yards, together with others somewhat shorter. Kernan's fine end running easily surpassed anything he has done previously this year. Graydon continued his excellent work in carrying the ball, but was not as useful on the defense as Meier, who replaced him. Hurley, Knowles and Mason all played well. The positions occupied by Wright and A. Marshall were the weakest points...
Much time has been given to the development of a kicking game. S. Ward and Bowman have both fallen off somewhat in punting, and the University team is frequently put on the defensive by the superior kicking of the second team backs...
...practice yesterday was somewhat better; there was a little more snap to the plays, due, perhaps to the colder weather, and the line held more strongly than has been customary. Still there was hardly any brilliant playing to distinguish it from the general run of practices during the past few weeks. Knowles made a run of 55 yards from a kick-off and added several shorter gains around the end, but the benefit of these advances was lost by frequent fumbling, especially when touchdowns were imminent. Only one touchdown was scored, and that by the first eleven on straight rushes...

This large hall is patterned somewhat after the large Living Room of the Union, but has a stone floor, and stone walls above an oak wainscot...
