...about a 30 which it held almost all through the race, the Newell crew rowing a 32 stroke with occasional spurts. At the finish the Weld crew led the first Newell by almost four lengths, the second Newell finishing about ten lengths behind the second boat. On the approach to Harvard Bridge the Weld boat led the Newell by about three-quarters of a length, but just as the crews were entering the bridge No. 7 of the Weld crew caught a crab on account of the heavy sea. This enabled the Newell crew to gain half a length, which...

The question came before the citizens of Cambridge early in 1902 as the result of a petition, signed by President Eliot, Charles F.

...practice of the upperclass elevens yesterday showed no marked development or approach to final form in any of the rather rudimentary work.

The Juniors found little effective resistance in the second's weak defense, and gained almost...
...tournament at Oakley yesterday afternoon by defeating R. E. Daniels '05, 2 up and 1 to play in an eighteen hole match.

Tuckerman won the fifteenth and sixteenth in bogey, and halved the seventeenth, thus winning the match...
...Harvard assumed rushing tactics from the start, and about the middle of the first half, after Kernan, by a 40 yard run had carried the ball to the 5 yard line, made the one touchdown of the game. During the remainder of the play the nearest approach to a score was when Harvard had the ball within 16 yards of Brown's goal and was then held and forced to try for a field-goal against the wind. The opposing team, however, never succeeded in advancing more than a few yards beyond the centre of the field...
