...plainly seen. A long hall with lockers around the four sides will occupy most of the floor, the space on each side of the stairway being used for bathrooms. The lower floor will be devoted to the storing of boats. Two large doors open from this floor out onto a large platform from which the floats are reached.

...breadth of the chest, the oar, which ought to have been gradually coming to the water on the forward swing (the hand pressure becoming lighter and lighter as it reaches over the stretcher) must grip the water firm, square and clean, the whole weight of the body being lifted onto it (not with a snap) off the stretcher and from the thighs. Almost, but not quite at the same moment, the legs begin their office. They drlve-drive the slide back and the oar through as the body swings until towards the finish the knees are flattened down...

Harvard then worked hard, and by active play of the rushers, despite loose work of the halfbacks, kept the ball near the centre and then forced it slightly onto Yale ground.
