...third match with the Medford team resulted in a defeat for us of 240 to 244. The match for the championship cup of the H. U. R. C. takes place Friday, 15th, at Watertown. The Handicap match for a prize cup is to take place at Watertown range on Thursday, November...
...college crews, to try if either of the English colleges can do in 1879 what they succeeded in doing in 1869. We have, and have had for two years, the best crew that ever sat in a Harvard boat; and we think that they may possibly be able to defeat the Oxford and Cambridge crews. Anyhow, we propose to make the trial, without reference to Cornell, Columbia, or any one else, and if these colleges don't like it they must (as the boys say) "lump it." Our annual race with Yale will of course be rowed, and probably always...

...sure that the feeling of the college is strongly in favor of such a race, especially as the crew of this year will contain seven of the old oars of last year's boat. With such a crew there would be a good prospect of wiping out our former defeat by Oxford. The requisite funds to send an eight to England could doubtless be raised, as many graduates would be glad to contribute...
