...Spaeth of Princeton, but also Coach Nickalls of Yale, as well as other prominent rowing authorities, were of the opinion that it was the best Yale boat that ever faced Princeton. Before the contest it was admittedly an impossibility to even attempt to predict a winner. All conditions seemed equal. The three crews as they paddled up to the mark were equally smooth, equally fit, and equally primed for the race. All seemed equal.

Although of decided Spanish atmosphere, the play has universal appeal by reason of its careful character delincation and its interesting story woven through with witty...
