...students. Want of loyalty to a team must never be charged to Harvard men, whose enthusiasm is not wont to flag even in the face of defeat. The Athletic Association is in need of help, and if Harvard is to have a fair chance in the intercollegiate contest next spring, student interest must revive. The men training for the team owe it to the University to do their best to bring her victory, and it is certainly the duty of the students to see that the efforts of their representatives do not fail for want of financial support...
...sending a crew from New Haven to compete in the Henley regatta is a natural one. If developed with the success of past years, the Yale crew would probably be as representative as any that could be sent from any of the American colleges, and as such its contest with English college crews would be watched with very great interest by Americans generally. It is apparently hoped by the Yale authorities that the meeting of college crews from both sides of the water will lead the way in a subsequent year to a race with one of the two great...

In the face of this disadvantage, the newly formed Harvard team has gone to work with good spirit and though beaten in the first contest with Brown, has kept hard at work and now hopes to be able to make a better if not a victorious showing against its more experienced and better organized rival. The game yesterday was certainly encouraging. The team deserves credit for its good work and success in the game of Thursday...
...regatta which takes place in the second week of July. this decision will not bring about so noticeable a boating feature as a race with one of the English universities would have done, but it is the best substitute and it is hoped will lead to an international university contest in some future year. Mr. Cook has been in town for several days, leaving Saturday evening, and has worked diligently with the candidates. He has a very good knowledge of the Henley course and of English strokes, and it is his purpose not to change the principle of the Yale...
