...which this year's class captains are taking hold of this matter. Finally, for the first time in three years there is a chance of the class championship being decided. For the last two years we have seen the college year close with these games undecided, for no other reason than unpardonable inertness on the part of the captains; but this year rules have been made out which will compel each nine to play its games as scheduled, and all putting off of games will be done away with...
...past year, the club has opened one of the events in today's races to the Puritan Canoe Club. Owing to this fact and judging from the success of the races last year, and from the steadily growing interest which is taken in canoeing at Harvard, there is every reason to suppose that this afternoon's races will be well worth seeing.

There would be no conflict, for no other courses come on that...
...spared. If all enter and do their best there is a good chance that we shall win. If any withdraw the chances are seriously lessened. The track races are still so far ahead that the excuse of training for them is hardly a reasonable one; no other ade quate reason can be suggested. We believe that we are justified in uiging those riders who have hitherto refused to enter, to reconsider their decision and to do their best to retain for Harvard the prestige in bicycling which they so fairly earned for her last year...
