It was right here that Cutler proved himself to be a stroke up to every emergency, for without changing his pace in the slightest manner he allowed Yale's spurt to shorten the load about twenty feet, and then, as Yale's stroke was lowered again, he raised his own stroke for the first time since the start, and the boat drew away rapidly.

The victory was clean cut and well earned in spite of Yale's frequent misplays. There was not the slightest doubt as to the merits of the two teams after the first inning and although the University team was outbatted by one hit, most of Harvard's hits came when they were needed and every opening to score was taken advantage...
