...keep the ball, and still more by the assistance which they received from the referee; but neither of these circumstances are sufficient to account for the fact that in spite of the fact that the playing time was a quarter of an hour longer, the eleven could not defeat Bowdoin by as large a score as it did Dartmouth.

The rowing men themselves find this fall race a source of pleasure; it does not represent a winter of hard work and a defeat can easily be made good in the spring.

Not since 1887 has Harvard won a game from them. Saturday's match, however, showed that the Harvard eleven have made a great improvement over last year's playing, and have improved since the beginning of this season, especially in fielding. Their faithful work may earn the intercollegiate championship for Harvard, and at all events deserves hearty recognition by the college...
