...York Times says the students of Princeton College are making efforts to secure a good crew to represent them at the proposed inter-collegiate regatta at Lake George next summer. A dramatic and musical entertainment, in aid of their boat club, is to be given in New York. A cast of well-known amateurs will perform "The Honeymoon," and the college glee club will sing...
...looking over the prospects for the future it seems that the only way for lacrosse to gain a firm and permanent footing is for the freshman class to take it up, so that the 'Varsity team can have recruits from the freshman team, just as the 'Varsity crew received material from class crews. Two attempts have been made to form second lacrosse teams, but have amounted to little because such teams could be at best but quasi organizations...
...names of the junior crew have been published in these columns within a few days, so that a repetition is unnecessary. The crew is somewhat lighter than last year, owing to the loss of Mumford, Woodward and Wesselhoeft; still the eight will average between 158 and 160 pounds. They are rowing with slides, and with a slow stroke - about 27 to the minute. As a general thing the form is excellent for this time of the year.

This crew is rowing at present with the slides, about 29 strokes per minute. The general appearance of the crew, looking "bows on" is very irregular, several of the men swinging out of line continually; furthermore only half of the crew get a decisive snap on the catch, two, three, four...
...Borland, (capt.) 177 lbs.; 7, Hamlin, 176 lbs.; stroke, Harris, 157 lbs.; cox., C. F. Bigelow; average, 160 3/4 lbs. Ayer (154), the regular number three, is temporarily laid up. There are also four extra men who row in the evening - Delafield, Guild, Boyden and C. A. Brown. The crew have been on the slides about two weeks, rowing a rather fast stroke, about 31 or 32 to the minute. The crew has yet a somewhat ragged appearance caused by the men not swinging straight fore and aft. This, although simply a matter of appearance in the gymnasium, becomes very...
