Harvard, though placed a little back of the starting line, took the lead in the first few strokes, rowing at the rate of 38 to the minute as against Cornell's 36. Shortly after the quarter-mile flag was reached, Harvard led by a clear length, with both crews rowing 34 strokes to the minute. At the bridge the University crew had increased its lead to two lengths of open water, and Cornell had dropped its stroke to 30. At this point the visiting crew made a desperate effort to make good its loss, but in vain, as the University...

Harvard began the game with a rush. McCall hit to the flag in left field, and easily reached second, although he was almost caught off the base. Briggs followed with a good sacrifice hit, and Harvey who was running for McCall moved to third. Lanigan's safe drive to left brought Harvey across the plate. An error by short stop on Simons' grounder put Lanigan on third, but Simons was caught stealing second. Harvey met the occasion by hitting to right for two bases, scoring Lanigan, but getting out himself on trying to stretch the hit to three bases...
...second mile, where the Freshman eight was waiting off the Navy Yard. Starting on even terms the 1910 boat took about a length on their racing start, and at a fast clip had a quarter of a length of open water at the 2 1-2 mile flag. This lead was maintained with slight variations until the crews passed the 3 1-2 mile post. Both rowed hard, making a very pretty race. Entering the last half-mile, Farley put up his stroke to about 36. For a short distance his crew crept up on the Freshmen, then hung...
