...witnessing as exciting a team match as has been shot this year It seems that the Pennsylvania men have profited by their two defeats of last season, and as a result they sent up to Cambridge a team of which they may well feel proud. The visitors took the lead on the first round, and held it to the finish, but from this it must not be inferred that the match was a one-sided affair, for, when the last bird of the 320 shot at had been broken, it was found that the winners had but six to spare...
...Lund, '88, ran an exhibition 120 yards in 12 1-2s. The half mile brought out H. M. Stegman, '91; H. R. Miles, '88; F. B. Dana, '88, and G. P. Cogswell, '88. Miles set a fast pace for the first quarter under 58s. Cogsll then took the lead finishing in 1m. 59 1-2s. Miles was second. This time beats the previous record 2m. 1-5s., made by Wendell Baker in 1885. A tug of war was introduced after this event. This is a new idea, to give the team which is to represent Harvard...
...Willard and Henshaw. In the fifth, with two men out and with the bases full, Bates made a timely single to left, Campbell followed with his fourth consecutive hit, a home run, the ball going to the law school building. With the bases clear, Quackenboss followed Campbell's lead and made a hit in the same place, which netted him four bases. Knowlton followed with a three-baser. Willard with a double, and Henshaw ended the inning by a grounder to pitcher. Harvard scored ten times during this inning. In the sixth, Gallivan led off with a hit, stole second...
...stood up in front of the pilot house and made it impossible for the pilots to see where they were going. A little more forethought will make such cause of complaint unnecessary in the future. The other thing was more serious. The '90 boat, when it got the lead, steered into '89 water, and for over three-quarters of a mile gave the junior crew their swash. Whether this action was intentional on the part of the sophomore boat or not, it is to be reprehended, for it takes from the race what it ought above all things to have...
Eighty-nine took the lead at the start. At the end of the first quarter of a mile '89 was ahead, with '90 and '88 close behind. At this time '88 and '91 were running 36 strokes to a minute; '89 and '90 were rowing more steadily at 33. '90 spurted and took the lead. From this time until the end of the race, '90 gradually drew ahead of the other boats. The freshmen dropped slowly to the rear and were practically out of the race from the beginning. At the end of the mile '90 was two boat lengths...
