...final match of the doubles tennis tournament, Tuesday, H. R. Scott 3L. and S. F. Rockwell '00 defeated H. LeG. Beyer 1L. and S. G. Morely 2G., 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2.

The body swing and the slide have been shortened, and a sharper, more snappy stroke has resulted. The breadth of the oars has been increased in the first boat to 7 1-4 inches, and in the second boat to 6 1-2 inches from 6 inches last year. The new cedar shell made by Ruddock of New York has arrived and will...
