...water. If, for example, the points were now properly marked, the coach could send the University crew in its changed order over the long course and decide whether the eight as now made up is faster than it was before the Cornell race.

When the fathers of those who are now in College were undergraduates, Old John was a familiar sight on Holmes field, with his shambling walk and uncouth salutations. The boldest would scarcely venture to guess at the age of this remarkable fruit seller. He is the same today as he was twenty years...
