...unable to account. On thinking the matter over more carefully, however, I came to the conclusion that it was due to two causes, possibly three; first, the constant efforts of other eastern colleges to obtain fuller support from the west and south; second, Harvard's conservative policy in this respect; and, of less importance, the comparatively short Christmas recess granted to Harvard undergraduates...

The passing was rather accurate and the stick work fair, but a lack of team play was shown.

Though at times brilliant, as when Lasley after a double pass swept by Andover's end for thirty-five yards, the playing was uninteresting, and the continual delays from injuries made the progress of the game rather slow.

The chief difficulty in the first seems to be a lack of leg drive at the finish of the stroke and too slow body movement. In this last respect the second was better than the first; they got their weight on better, but their blade work was very ragged. The blade work of the first was good, except that at times the blades were high off the water at the catch...
