...exception of occasional four oars and singles, are the only college oarsmen upon the river. Up to last Friday, Brooks '87. acted as coach of the 'varsity, and since then Storrow '85, has taken charge. The university crew has been slowly gaining, especially during the past week, but although far ahead of last year's crew at this time of the year, much improvement has yet to be made before the New London race. The crew will leave Cambridge as soon as possible after June 10, and will live in the regular Harvard crew quarters on the Thames...
...annual intercollegiate game were held at the Berkely Oval, New York, Saturday afternoon. Harvard failed to win first place but her representatives showed up well. Although only winning two first prizes, Harvard had a large number of exceedingly close seconds. In the bicycle race to be contested today, Harvard may win first place. Davis won the race easily, but the referee's decision gives Clark a chance for first place. The 440-yards race between Dohm and Downes was very close and Dohm won by only one fifth of a second. In the mile walk McIlvaine forged ahead...
Harvard played Yale Saturday afternoon on the Yale field and was beaten 15 to 3. Stagg's pitching, and the general excellence of the Yale team won the game.

...will play its first championship game with Yale at New Haven. It is with considerable anxiety that the college will await the result; the game is, in a way, the turning point in the championship race. It Harvard loses, her chances for final success will be very materially lessened, although not destroyed. If, on the other hand, a victory is obtained, Harvard will be in the lead for the pennant. We feel that the hopes for fulfilling the latter condition are by no means inconsiderable. In the first part of the spring there seemed little in the playing...
...have been entered in the various events, but it is not probable that more than twenty of these will compete. Sherill '89, captain of the team, is running in fine form, and is generally considered a winner of the 100 yards dash and the 220 yards dash, although Lee and Moen of Harvard, may push him hard. Shearman, '89 has twice won the broad jump, and once the pole vault. He has improved in both these events this year, having vaulted 10 feet 5 inches recently. He is a cool man, and is sure to do as well...
