...jump. Barr will again be the mainstay in the pole-vault, with no other candidate showing anything like the same ability. For the broad jump, Long, Dillingham, and Winward are the most promising, as Little will probably confine himself to the shot-put. In this event he is an almost certain winner, and Goddard is a possible point winner. Once more the hammer-throw presents a lack of heavy men, and Douglas and Parker of the 1912 team, each capable of only about 125 feet are the only other men in sight...
...from last year's winning Freshman crew, the development of the crew was naturally very rapid. There was not the trouble-some problem of finding a stroke, and the eight was apparently seated at the outset of the season in the exact order in which it would row Yale, almost four months from then. Up to the time of the Columbia race on April 17, the boat was moving very fast. The crew was remarkably well together for so early in the season, and Sargent still had his ability to row a high stroke and keep it for a long...
...light row up-stream towards the Yale quarters. The Freshman four rowed down-stream a little beyond Cows Point and back, and the eight covered the same distance. Later in the afternoon it was much cooler; the crews went out at about 6 o'clock. The water was almost calm. The University eight took a row down-stream to the three-mile flag and back. A stroke of 28 was maintained all the way until the last stretch before the boathouse, when it was raised as high as 42. Although the slide work was poor at times the crew went...
...same distance ahead of the second four, was 11 minutes, 19 seconds. Hooper was still at stroke in the University four, and while the crew did well for the first mile, the second mile was rowed poorly. The crew did not seem able to raise the stroke, and was almost caught by the second four. Despite the fact that all the men in the Freshman four were rushing their slides and hurrying their work unnecessarily, the boat travelled fast and the crew gained steadily on the University four throughout the last mile...
...Honor versus Proctors," Mr. Kenneth R. Macgowan '11 severely condemns placing proctors in charge of examinations, because that system seems to him humiliating, undemocratic, and unsuccessful. Few will, I think, agree with him. In my opinion, at any rate, cheating in examinations is so rare as to be almost negligible. Nor ought there to be a sense of humiliation because of the presence of a proctor; he is there to protect the honest against the unfair competition of the possibly dishonest. To call that "espionage" is, it seems to me, improper; as well take offence at the mildly inquiring...
