...whole showed some improvement over their form in the Williams game, especially in charging their opponents and starting with the backs. The lack of dash in the interference, due in part to the absence of Daly, and in part to the irregularity of the backs in starting, was a fault which can be corrected only with the use of more care by the backs in taking their positions. Any advantage Bowdoin had through the aggressiveness of her backs, was more than offset by her weakness in punting. Not only was the centre-rush inaccurate in passing the ball...
After the elementary work, two ten-minute halves were played, the first team lining-up against the second. The old fault of fumbling again marred the work of the back field, which was also handicapped by the absence of Daly. Ragged as was the interference at times, the first scored twice in the first half, owing to line-plunges by Kendall. Parker and Kendall were both able to gain through the second's line, but as both are running very high, they would be of little use against a strong line...

Hard as was the playing while it lasted, nevertheless the interference was but fair, and the handling of the ball only ordinary. The most noticeable fault developed by the backs was that of starting before the ball. This, of necessity, prevented any concerted action on the part of the whole eleven. While the line-men heretofore have not been getting the start on their opponents, yesterday they showed some improvement in that phase of the game, which...
...Yale crew has been handicapped by the recent loss of Auchincloss, No. 2, on account of ill health, and by the requirement of the Faculty that the men should go to New Haven for examinations. The most conspicuous fault of the crew is a slow, ragged recovery, and a tendency not to row together...
