...crew of last year. As our own crew will not weigh much more at the time of the race the two sets of men will be about evenly matched in strength, and success will depend entirely upon skill with the oar. Bob Cook will be with their crew, to coach them as much as he can from now until the day of the race. The coxswain, who is now steering them weighs about...
...continued during the remainder of the season it will be impossible for many of our adversaries to reach first base on errors. The batting was the only place where much improvement is possible. Hard work in practice, the various matches during the month, and the advantage of a coach ought to bring this part of the play up to the required standard. Warmer weather and worthier opponents will doubtless attract more spectators than turned out on Saturday. Good support from the rest of the college helps the nine to play well. Large audiences and plenty of enthusiasm for good plays...
...English stroke with undoubted success. Harvard, too, had in the meantime adopted it. In 1876 I left college, and from 1877 to 1880 Yale abandoned the new system, through the mismanagement of those at the head of its boating department, and resorted, as of old, to a professional coach.

In 1880 and 1881 Yale, through the efforts of William Wood, who was one of my crew, go back to the system I introduced and won easily...

Had not Yale employed such men the Harvard-Yale record would now be even. The two last races lost by Yale were lost by the every best crews that ever sat in boats, and yet Davis, the man who coached them, is considered the best professional trainer in the country...
...best form of any of the class crews. Their oars fall well together, and considering the fact that there are four new men in the boat, they have made good progress since they began work on the river. On Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays Colonel Bancroft finds time to coach them; on the other days his place is taken by Mr. Perin, stroke of the '83 crew. The sophomores are seated in the following order...
