After four minutes of hard rowing Grays bumped Russell. When these boats bad dropped out Holyoke second was far behind, rowing in ragged form, and soon left the race. Thayer in the meantime was unable to gain on the Matthews boat, which held its lead to the finish. Perkins, the next in order was rowing in much better form than on Tuesday, but was not quite able to overtake Thayer.

Captain Torrey played a hard game against White and opened up holes for the tackle and guard-back plays on both sides of centre, besides breaking through and blocking many plays behind the line. Burr's punting hardly compensated...
