...slugging-bee, an exhibition characterized by loose but exciting ball. Holy Cross was next shut out at Worcester, Mahan registering the 4 to 0 score, and also the last of the University's string of 12 straight victories. Garritt and Harrison were unable to hold Brown in check, and the Providence college had the pleasure of seeing an 8 to 1 atonement for the first game and for its defeat at home in 1915. Pitcher Young, of Williams, had two bad innings at the start of the game on June 1, and lost by a 2 to 0 score...
...Conn., June 14, 1916.--The absence of H. S. Middendorf '16 is still greatly noticed in the first crew, but today almost all signs of the check had disappeared. The second crew likewise is making rapid improvements in keeping a decent form at a low stroke. In addition to Middendorf's illness, another bit of hard luck hit the University camp today when C. W. Greenough '19 was forced to go home for the rest of the season with tonsilitis. J. F. Linder '19, who also left a few days ago because of sickness, is not expected back, and these...

The check of Crew A which was troubling the coaches greatly the last few days is rapidly being eliminated, and with the return of Middendorf, this crew ought to be in remarkable form...
...Yale crews were occupied with regulation spins today. The first eight started over the mile course, but stopped just before the finish. The time was about 2 minutes, 40 seconds, which even with the present weather conditions is very poor. There seems to be a bad check in this Yale shell, which Coach Nichalls is doing his best to remedy. McLane, the experienced Yale coxswain, today lost his plac to Lasher, and the only assignable reason is that McLane has become too corpulent to hold down his job at the extreme stern...
University A showed a distinct check in its stroke when rowing at a low stroke, but when Lund raised the pace, some very smooth rowing was seen. The second crew had a great advantage in wind because of their position, but the showing which these eight men made was remarkable. The swing of this second crew was in perfect unison and R. R. Brown '17 at stroke paced a splendid two-miler...
