...Marvin 2L. successfully defended his title of University tennis champion for the fifth time yesterday by defeating W. H. Laverack '01 in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. The match was more closely contested than the score shows, for nearly every game was hard fought. Marvin was much steadier than Laverack and although he had fewer clean passes to his credit, he made on the other hand fewer outs and nets. Marvin's service was not a hard as Laverack's but was more accurate and he served only one double fault in the three sets to Laverack...
...first time. Jaynes did some effective line bucking and was the only successful end runner. He made three fairly long runs around left end with very little interference. Ellis played fullback for a few minutes and did much better work than on Thursday. He struck the line hard, fought his way through and kept his feet well. His punts were much longer and straighter than usual and he did some good interfering. The improvement in Barnard's and Lee's playing was the most noticeable part of the practice. They both broke through their opponents constantly and played well together...
Harvard was defeated by Holy Cross yesterday in a well-fought game by the score of 3 to 2. The game was largely a pitcher's battle, and although Harvard secured the most hits, they did not come when hits meant runs. Both Stillman and Kernan were tried in the box, and did about equally well, though Kernan had hardly time to get well into the game, as he pitched but two innings. Jaynes was tried at first base during the early part of the game, and played a steady fielding game, though he proved weak...
...here. Your humble servant belongs to the first Canadian contingent and has seen considerable scrapping so far with Steyn and Oom Paul's legions, but thus far has been unhurt, I must try to attend my next class dinner (D. V.) and compare notes with my classmates who have fought the Spaniards and Filipinos. You ought to see me now in tattered, soiled khaki uniform, nearly as brown as a Negro and as tough as a hickory nut. But so far old Harvard, as represented by myself, has not missed a drill or march or fight the regiment has been...
...rowed with a great deal of dash. Under Harvard Bridge the two first crews were even and each spurted for the lead. When they appeared on the farther side, the Weld eight was slightly in advance, and seemed to be going ahead fast. The Newell boat, however, fought pluckily, answering every spurt of the Weld, which drew away foot by foot and finished one third of a length ahead. The second crews gradually fell behind the others, and when they finished the second Newell was three lengths behind the leaders...
