...practice yesterday afternoon no line-up was held, but the men were drilled by Coach Barnes in long passes, dribbling, and basket shooting. The work as a whole was good, but all the men are still uncertain in the one hand dribbling and in shooting. The line-up in tonight's game will be as follows: HARVARD. BROWN. Underwood, l.f. r.f., Rackle, Reynolds Grant, r.f. l.f., DeWolf Randall, c. c., Leland Swift, l.g. r.g., Ahrens Gring, r.g. l.g., Ingalls
...team work was uncertain and the shooting for goals unsuccessful, because the men were not quick enough in getting the shots off. On defense, the team was fairly strong, but lacked aggressiveness when blocking the opposing forwards...
...energetic players, but there is little concentration, little effective and certain co-operation.

Seldom does the line hold well enough to permit the formation of strong interference for the backs...

On plays through the line he lacks power; in the secondary defense he is uncertain. Schoellkopf is a hard plunging back on line plays, a sure ground gainer, and very effective on the defense. Hurley starts quickly, and runs swiftly; on the defense he is too light to be of maximum assistance...

Both, men rowed well, and, although Smith led for most of the course, the outcome was uncertain until the very last. In spite of the fact that there was a slight tide against him, Smith covered the course in the creditable time of 6 minutes and 15 seconds...
