...some other subject could be more profitably treated. The unfortunate freshman ball game at New Haven has already been thoroughly discussed, and it is hard to understand what is to be gained by a mere rehearsal of the very uninteresting story again. We should think that the college would want to forget the whole unfortunate affair as soon as possible. And as for the alleged apathy of the class in supporting its crew, it would seem that this lack of support is the result of ignorance of the financial condition of the management rather than of any niggardly disposition...
...CRIMSON from graduates, insisting on the same idea that lack of enthusiasm and support on the part of thecollege is the cause of our ill-success in athletics. We concur most heartily with the sentiment of this letter.

C., who holds the best record at this game in this country, states that Leavitt was done an injustice, and if the officials at a competition where he was taking part should decide that he would have to lend his pole...
...creditable in every way, and it is to be hoped that the members of the class will take advantage of the opportunity both for showing their appreciation of the clubs' efforts and for supporting the crew. It is needless to say that the management of the crew is in want of the heartiest financial support from the class at large. The crew so far has made a very creditable showing, and it is only its due to give it every chance for victory which can be secured from financial help...
