...best showing of the season thus far, and won its sixth successive victory over the University of Pennsylvania by a score of 17 to 10. The crowd of 25,000 enthusiastic spectators saw an exhibition of exceedingly spirited football, and a contest that was sensational and exciting from start to finish. That the game should have been so stirring, was remarkable in view of the almost total absence of runs of more than fifteen yards in length. But there came continual unexpected changes in the relative advantage of play that left the result of the game decidedly in doubt until...

Only three crews competed in the second section, the fourth Weld not entering. From the start it was evident that the third Weld would win. The crew rowed in fairly good form, with a strong stroke of about 28. The contest between the third Newell and the fourth Newell was very close. For a fourth crew the fourth Newell rowed unusually well. Each crew had the lead at some time, but in the last quarter mile the third Newell finally pulled ahead, winning by about half a length...
