...Lowell, '77, and C. James, '79, were the only starters. James took the lead, and kept in advance until the end of the second quarter, when he was passed by Lowell, who won the race in 5 min. 2 1/2 sec.

The heavy weight of the Tufts men seemed to make them less able to stand the tumbling, and their wind seemed to be giving out, for they were evidently playing for time, their repeated and unnecessary cries of "foul" becoming rather laughable. The second half-hour closed without a touch-down, but leaving our men full of confidence, though rather disgusted at the "foul" crying...
