...gain made. Moen and McNear failed to make the necessary amount and the ball went to '92. Henry and Newell made advances and Forbes made a ten yard gain. After some fumbling McLeod got the ball out ofa scrimmage and ran from the '91 goal almost the length of the field towards '92 's line. Curtis caught up to him and tackled him just before he reached the line. The juniors prevented any further gain, and soon recovered the ball. White made a long run, and Henry, aided by Forbes' good blocking, gained five yards. Ninety-two advanced the ball...
...ball and made a considerable gain; then Sherwin dodged through the Bowdoin rushers 20 yards and scored the first touchdown; goal. Score, 6-0. Harvard forced Bowdoin steadily back from the center of the field, the visitors twice taking the ball back 20 yards to keep it. At length Dean and Fearing got through and fell on the ball. It was giving to Sherwin, who ran 15 yards around the end and scored the second touch-down; no goal. Score 10-0.

The start was made at about twenty minutes past four, '93 having the course nearest the wall, '92 the outside and '91 the middle. At the finish '93 had the lead by over a boat length and looked as if they could have held it for some time longer. '92 was a good second and was also rowing well. '91 was third by about a length and although they by no means showed any signs of giving out yet seemed to have less reserve strength...
