...afternoon work was of a varied character. Starting at a very slow stroke, the men went down stream in three stretches as far as a quarter-mile below the Navy Yard. There, after turning, a short distance was covered with the stroke at 30. This stretch was followed by a racing start that was better than any Harvard crew has made on the Thames for the past three years. The boat shot along at a remarkable speed and the men kept together almost to perfection. The next stretch was a long one again, with a very slow stroke until opposite...
...game on Saturday was slow and uninteresting, and at no time was the Harvard goal threatened. Voshell and Foster played the fastest game for the Freshmen and it was only due to the good defensive work of Palmer, the Columbia goal, that Harvard was prevented from scoring more times...

The next man hit a slow one to McCall, who fielded the ball to first; but Briggs dropped the throw, and then tried to catch Palmer off third. The throw was low, but Leonard saved another error by a good stop. The next man up made a clever sacrifice, and the run was scored...
