...seems as though the individual work has fallen off from its standard of two week ago, but the crew work has improved some, the men row better together than at any time before. The weather for the last few days has been cold, and the men have held their weight very well, some have gained steadily, in spite of the hard work. There have been no changes in the order in rowing, except that, owing to Cummings' illness, Slade has been placed at No. 3, and Rantoul and Winthrop have been exchanging compliments for the position at No. 2.

Naturalists have never been able satisfactorily to explain the regular migrations of birds. It does not seem probable that they are influenced by cold as they are so well protected by their thick covering of feathers and fat, and by a very rapid circulation.

...candidates for the 'varsity nine began out-of-door practice yesterday afternoon. Although it was rather cold for serious work the men went out on Jarvis field and began light practice. While a part of the candidates caught flies at one end of the field, others were trained in batting at the other. If the weather does not grow any more severe, the nine will continue its work out-of-doors...
