...their best, and the infield should become settled this week. Yale is expected to be the hardest-hitting team seen on Soldiers Field this year, but if the infield gets back the speed and accuracy it is capable of, there is no reason why we should not win, always provided we can hit. In that connection all that can be said is, the batting is appreciably stronger than last year...
...condition has led to many sharp decisions and much ill-feeling--we cite no instances, but the air is full of them. This must necessarily continue, so long as the present system is adhered to. What is the use of having a competition, if the best competitor does not win out? The money itself is hardly a consideration, since there are other and less obnoxious ways of raising that.

The University crew seems to be essentially a four-mile combination, lacking the ability to sprint which wins the shorter race, and its strength and staying power are counted on to win for Harvard at New London. It is even believed by some that last Saturday's defeat will be of real advantage to the eight, as tending to do away with the overconfidence which has proved fatal...
