...slight advantage. No crew gained materially until at the half-mile Adams's boat had opened up two lengths of open water over Perkins's boat which led Goodrich's crew by a length. Higginson's brought up the rear. All were rowing fairly well, although slugging somewhat. The fast running waves broke over the outriggers and as a result the four boats carried a good many extra pounds of water...
...however, had his men well in hand and rowed easily and strong. At this point Goodrich ran the stroke up to about 40, and in the spurt cut down Adams's lead to three-quarters of a length. They finished in this order, although Goodrich's crew was coming fast at the end. Perkins's was a length behind, while Higginson's came on three length's farther back. No time was taken, as it was quite dark when the crews finished. It was necessary afterwards for the launch to go to the assistance of two of the crews...

Upon crawling up he hears behind him from the wrecked and sinking cars a woman's voice begging help. The man goes back into the river, crippled as he is, but is too late.

The team as a whole played listlessly, and it may be said indifferently at times; and though four touchdowns were scored, they were made simply on Harvard's superior strength and were far from being the result of fast, aggressive playing. Judging from the spirit prevalent throughout the game, the men were evidently not playing their best, nor trying to, and taken after the excellent showing of last week against Brown, such a reaction is at least unwarrantable. Throughout the game, there was a most conspicuous jumble of plays...
