...Auburn street were following, nearly even, about a length of open water behind Thayer. Just above the Harvard bridge, Russell and Randolph put up the stroke, and gained rapidly on Thayer, but the latter was able to sprint although it had been rowing the same high stroke all the way. Claverly was not able to keep up with these first boats, and Mt. Auburn street, in turn, fell a little behind Claverly...
From this point to the finish, the race was almost bow to bow all the way, Russell gaining slowly, and Thayer just managing to keep its lead.

His drop-kick was perfect, the ball going over the bar from the 31-yard line; but in the backfield both he and Frothingham misjudged and fumbled very badly, losing, in this way, all the advantage which Minot's kicking gave to Harvard. The West Point team was distinctly weak, the line could not hold, though every man fought hard. Dean, the left halfback, played a strong game and was almost certain of catching punts even though the ends were right...
