...Graduate Athletic Association meeting tonight calls many alumni to Cambridge to forward a project which bids fair to greatly strengthen our athletic policy in centralizing and controlling graduate interest. The plan is by no means a new one.

...Yale last year departed somewhat from her rowing policy by going to Poughkeepsie, but it was in order to resume her relations with Harvard. In this contest she was finely defeated after she had been most courteously received into Cornell's own race on Cornell waters.

The feature of the game was Hunt's goal on a long drive from centre...
...intelligent arrangement of their case seemed to balance matters and made up for the undoubted superiority in delivery which the Freshmen possessed. The rebuttal work all through was sharp and pleasing, and far above that usually shown by first or second year men. Such work is a step forward where improvement is most needed, and is to be strongly commended...
