...vain attempt to score, but in the first half both teams played equally well--or poorly--with the breaks going to Yale. The Blue eleven was the more consistently powerful organization throughout the game, but the Crimson was strong enough to hold its opponents at all times, had not luck occasionally interfered. The winning touchdown was due to a Yale fumble recovered by a Yale player, Gates, but the ability of the Blue team to force the ball over the goal line after this fumble was a demonstration of its slight superiority. The University line put up a magnificent defence...

The second crew likewise is making rapid improvements in keeping a decent form at a low stroke. In addition to Middendorf's illness, another bit of hard luck hit the University camp today when C. W. Greenough '19 was forced to go home for the rest of the season with tonsilitis. J. F. Linder '19, who also left a few days ago because of sickness, is not expected back, and these two absences cause somewhat of a gloom over...
