...chief interest in the coming class races is at present divided between the Senior and Junior crews, who, as far as can be judged, are very evenly matched. The Sophomores are organizing an eight, to be sure, and expect to take part in the contest; but they were so unlucky in the spring, and have begun to train so late, that they will have hard work to keep up with '80 and '81. The Freshmen, of course, are too inexperienced to take part in the race on the 25th...
...only was the last contest with Yale noteworthy as being one of the most splendid of our victories, but also because in it Tyng, Ernst, and Wright played for the last time with Harvard. The departure of three such men, whose reputation on the ball-field will long be kept alive by succeeding classes, is an event of no small interest to the University...
...have great confidence in their men. Altogether, the race is pretty sure to be a close one. A good deal of interest is also felt in the Senior Scullers' race between Messrs. Goddard and Peabody. These two gentlemen are undoubtedly the best single scullers in the University, and a contest between them for the championship will be sure to prove very interesting. They have agreed to start promptly at ten o'clock, and so everybody who wishes to see the race will have to be present at that hour. We present to our subscribers with this number a programme...
Sayre of Columbia won the mile-walk very easily, in 7 minutes 49 seconds, Emmerich of Lehigh College second, in 7 minutes 56 seconds, and Huidekoper of Harvard third, in 7 minutes 56 1/5 seconds. In this contest, Emmerich's walk was so manifestly unfair from start to finish that it should have been ruled out at an early stage of the race. Huidekoper walked extremely well, and has had very hard luck in being ruled out at the Columbia Sports for running, and in losing the second prize in the Intercollegiate Sports; since to the incompetency of Mr. Bauermeyer...
...GODDARD will leave for his quarters on Lake Quinsigamond to-morrow, in order to have a week's practice over his course before the race. The contest into which he is about to enter with Mr. Livingstone is in no point of view an intercollegiate race between Harvard and Yale; it is strictly a private match. But as each of the contestants holds the single-scull championship of his college, deep interest will be felt in the result. We hope that all members of the University realize how important a place this race will hold in Harvard's boating annals...
