...launch which is building at Cramp's yard, Philadelphia, is expected to reach Cambridge, April 10. The new boat is longer and wider than the John Harvard, and draws less water, thus being better adapted to the navigation of the Charles. She is also faster than the old launch, having a guaranteed speed of 16 knots...
...Weld: Tilton, Glidden, Kernan, Palmer, Saltonstall, Emery. The Weld squad has been reduced and now contains about twenty-eight men, who will continue to row for some time in three eights and a four-oar. This material should give new stimulus to the crews and push them ahead faster than they have hitherto been able to go, retarded as they were by the quantity of absolutely raw material...
Work on the new baseball cage on Soldiers Field has not progressed very far yet, but from now on will probably move faster. The foundations are in, and most of the heavier lumber is prepared so that the structure can soon be gotten in shape for the steel workers. The conduit for the pipes connecting the building with the steam heating apparatus in the Locker Building, is finished...
...start and finish at the same points as in the four-mile course for Harvard-Yale races in former years the survey shows that after the first half mile the course follows the centre of the channel thus giving every indication that the new course would prove even faster than the old. Measurements were taken at different points on the river, with the United States Government map of the Thames as a guide. The width of the river from shore to shore is given as follows: Start, 2000 feet; 1-2 mile, 2500 feet; 1 mile, 1250 feet...
...years Harvard has made but little progress in debate in comparison with her rivals. It may be that we reached a climax beyond which it is difficult to go, several years since, and that the other colleges, where debating was slow in gaining a foothold, have been gaining ground faster, but this is difficult to believe. At all events, if there is any truth in this conjecture we want to see it contradicted this year, and the first step in this direction is a trial debate which will satisfy us that we are being represented by the best material...
