...original eleven except Stillman, Graydon and Sugden was replaced by a substitute, and much team play sacrificed. All the backs ran well with the ball, but were weak in handling punts. Stillman did some strong punting, and outclassed Craighead, who punted for Yale, even against the wind. His line-bucking was strong and his run of seventy yards on a fake kick was the longest of the game. Hersey did some good individual rushing, but was of little use in the interference. His substitute, Kernan, did some remarkable punting in the last few minutes...

The first Newell crew, which was second at the finish, was a length and three-quarters ahead of the second Weld, which in turn led the second Newell by a quarter of a length of open water. The start was not made until one o'clock owing to the difficulty of securing a coxswain...
