...very weak, with the exception of a fine stand for 27, made by Dwight, '74, who took the first over and saw eight wickets fall before his own. Mr. Tilden's hitting was also effective. The fielding of our Eleven, too, with the exception of Garrett and Bruce, was far below its standard, although Withington's long stopping was good. The bowling was good while the men were fresh, but as the innings lengthened the number of wides rapidly increased...
...Convention of the Rowing Association of American Colleges, held in Hartford January 21, 1874, adjourned to January, 1875. There are many reasons, we believe, for setting the time of meeting at an earlier date. Questions of far more than ordinary moment with reference to the future conduct of regattas will demand the attention of the convention, and its decision will greatly influence the course of action of those who are, either directly or indirectly, to be concerned in the regatta of 1875. It is particularly desirable that the choice of a regatta committee should be effected earlier than last year...
...trained negro-waiters instead of untidy Irish women, and the prospect of food somewhat better than at the old Commons, owing to the increase in the numbers of the club, and to the skill and experience of a professional steward. In respect of all these the club is certainly far ahead of the old railroad-depot.

...were to judge from some of the shallow excuses which are given for not supporting the institution, we might suppose that the students did not care how soon it was given up as impracticable, but in reality the feeling among us is far different. We should all be sorry to see the enterprise, started only three years ago at the unanimous request of the students, fall to the ground; and it is only through listlessness, or a feeling that some one will be sure to support it, that so many of us are backward. This being the case...
...each class will vary but little from the amounts stated. $ 1,800 must be raised for the support of the crew during the coming year, and the Club is now in debt to the amount of $ 1,700. It is therefore necessary to raise $ 3,500. The amount thus far subscribed, including last year's subscription not yet paid, is $ 1,572. The Class of '76 owe $ 232, making a total of about $ 1,800 credited to the Club. It is estimated that about $ 400 will be realized from the rent of the boat-rests and admission fees...
