...this country, it would naturally be supposed that the Harvard crew could not possibly lack support. In spite of our misfortunes of this year, we send to New London one of the finest crews Harvard has ever entered in a race and one that will give Yale a hard struggle. If Yale should win this race, she would again tie Harvard in number of victories, while, if Harvard wins, the advantage will be one that will take several years for Yale to overcome...
Joseph Cook comes down like a wolf on the fold and it is hard to tell where he next will light. There is scarcely any institution of note in this country which has not suffered from the stings and arrows of the outrageous Monday Lectureship, and Harvard least of all has been exempt from its attacks.

Smith made a hit for Harvard, but was left on second, the next three men going out. Yale was retired in one, two, three order in the fifth inning. Phillips made one of the longest hits made...
