...line. Harvard then recovered the ball on downs and afterwards, by straight football only, was able to send Meier, Pruyn and Lindsay across the line for touchdowns with but little resistance from Yale.

At the bridge, the Sophomore crews had drawn up nearly even, and from there to a point within twenty strokes of the finish, they rowed side by side, neither getting a lead of more than three feet at any time.
