Corbett's sensational run from Harvard's 5-yard line the length of the field for the second touchdown was the feature of the game. He was given good interference, but it was by dint of its own fast work that he was able to go through the whole Bates team and to outstrip Cobb, the quarterback.

The records of current athletic events which the Graduates Magazine supplies, are more for reference than for news value...
...crew stroked by Morgan gained slightly on the start, but Bacon's crew, rowing a higher stroke, succeeded, in wearing down their opponents' lead and were about half a length to the good by the time Harvard bridge was reached. At this point Morgan's crew again came to the fore, and the two boats were on even terms for a while. Shortly before the finish Bacon's crew spurted and gained nearly a length, but were unable to hold their distance, and Morgan's men drew up on them, and made the race a tie. There will probably...
