...Pennsylvania on Saturday by a score of 65 to 47. The result of the games was just about what was expected. Harvard was very strong in the track events and won a large proportion of them, while Pennsylvania was superior in the field events. Harvard won through the uniform strength of her team which secured 10 second and 10 third places against 4 of each for Pennsylvania. Each team won 7 first places...
...well here to say a word of congratulation to the members of the 'Varsity Crew. Their work during the last few weeks has been excellent. Their from is remarkably good, and they row with a snap, strength and precision that has not been equaled by a Harvard Crew since the defeat of Yale five years...

Judging from the present conditions, Pennsylvania should be very successful in athletics this spring. The baseball team has developed remarkable strength considering the circumstances under which the men have been working, while the unusually large number of men trying for the track team ought to result in a creditable showing later. There will be little opportunity of judging as to the chances in rowing until after the freshman race with Annapolis...
