...well supported in all but one by men who won places last spring. The excellent work which Captain Rand and Coaches Donovan and Quinn have done in developing the team has been demonstrated by its performances in the interclass games and in the meet last Saturday, when it defeated Dartmouth by 67 points. It is a question whether a steadily and rapidly improving team can overtake and defeat a team originally composed of tried men, which has rather fallen off than otherwise during the season's training. A careful computation of the probable results seems slightly to favor Yale...
Because of the defeat today the University team is tied with Columbia and Cornell for the championship. It will, however, retain the cup won last year by an agreement that in case of a tie the team holding it the previous year should retain possession of it. The summary: HARVARD. CORNELL. Goepper, g. g., Thatcher Leavitt, p. p., Chapman Estabrook, c.p. c.p., Haist Thompson, 1d. 1d., Carlton Nash, 2d. 2d., Henry Cochrane, 3d. 3d., Devitt Alexander, c. c., Friese Sheip, 3a. 3a., Chamberlain S.

Andover has shown only mediocre ability so far this season and should not be a hard team to defeat. Dartmouth, Colby, and Carlisle have won from Andover this spring, while the Yale freshmen and Mercersburg have lost. Andover has a fairly strong staff of pitchers in Brown, Thompson, and Sherman...
Before College opens after the spring recess, the crew, the baseball team, and the lacrosse team will have begun their schedules. This afternoon on the Charles the University crew rows against Columbia in what we hope will be a successful attempt to make up for the defeat of two years ago. Coach rice is an experienced leader, and although he has been obliged to make numerous eleventh-hour shifts in the Columbia boat, he will probably send out a very powerful crew. The University eight was considerably set back by Captain Severance's resignation in February, but fortunately a good...
...exciting race on the Thames last Saturday Oxford defeated Cambridge by three and one-half lengths. The time of the winning crew was 19 min., 50 sec. Saturday's race was Oxford's third victory since 1899, when its nine consecutive victories over Cambridge were ended by a defeat. Of the 66 races between the two universities Oxford has won 35 and Cambridge 30, the race in 1877 ending in a dead heat...
