...sufficient force, and was very slow in interfering for the other runners. Stillman made two fairly good end runs and did some good defensive work; otherwise his playing was very poor. He fumbled several times, and lost a great deal of ground by running back on end plays. This fault also characterized Derby's running. Fincke caught punts well, but was slow in passing the ball to the runners. The offensive work of Barnard and Lee was weak. They were unable to open holes and got in the way of the backs. Their defensive work was much better, as they...

The chief objection to the boat is that it is too large for the present crew, a fault which might prove of great disadvantage if the race should be rowed against a head wind...
