...Captain Hurley has improved so much that he was able to leave the hospital, and has gone to the country for several weeks. There is now absolutely no danger of an operation...
Westmorly made a fast start and rapidly pulled away from Claverly, which for a time was in danger from the Holyoke boat. Claverly held its own, however, and slowly gained on the boat ahead. Brattle street, in the meanwhile, was making desperate efforts to overtake Waverley and might have succeeded, had not the Holworthy-Stoughton crew, which was rowing a much slower and steadier stroke, caught up and made its bump not two hundred yards from the finish. The latter crew proved to be one of the best on the river and would probably have bumped the Brattle street boat...
Matthews and Thayer both held their positions at the head of the division, although Matthews was constantly in danger from the other boat.

Grays was thus deprived of the possibility of a bump, but finished in good form with Russell a length behind...

Adams punted to Newhall on the 32-yard line. In four downs Harvard carried the ball back 15 yards and Burr punted to the 35-yard line. After Brill and White had stopped...
