...into the water and that was sprung in the middle; but in the writer's opinion this disadvantage was insignificant to that of having to be coached the eight days preceding the race by a stranger. During these eight days the stroke was hastened considerably by the very worst fault a crew can fall into, namely, rushing forward on the full reach.

To the latter no reply has been received, and we venture to say that, if Yale had accepted the former, there would have been a close and exciting race. Harvard and Yale claim to hold the first positions in boating on the sole basis of declining to row any races except those between themselves...
