...time made by the University four, which finished about a length and a half behind the Freshmen, and the same distance ahead of the second four, was 11 minutes, 19 seconds. Hooper was still at stroke in the University four, and while the crew did well for the first mile, the second mile was rowed poorly. The crew did not seem able to raise the stroke, and was almost caught by the second four. Despite the fact that all the men in the Freshman four were rushing their slides and hurrying their work unnecessarily, the boat travelled fast...
...able to row this morning on account of a heavy wind. At 6 o'clock this afternoon, however, the university and freshman eights went up-stream two miles. On the way back the two eights had a brush for about a mile, which the university crew won by one length. The university and freshman fours took a short two up to Horton Cove and back...
...Freshman and Middlesex School four-oared crews rowed two races over a three-quarter mile course on the Charles River above the Stillman Infirmary yesterday afternoon. In the first race the Middlesex crew won from the Freshmen by one and a half lengths. The Middle sex crew got a lead at the start and held this advantage throughout; they rowed in almost perfect form and used fully as much power as the Freshmen though a considerably lighter crew. In the second race the Freshman second won by a length from the Middlesex second four, who were one half length ahead...
...CRIMSON believes that the least beneficial form of this written work is the weekly conference paper, used in many of the larger courses. It cannot pretend to be an adequate test of the student's knowledge from its short length, and in many courses it is never considered seriously by the members of the class. If oral questioning were substituted, a great deal of good would be done. The preparation for the lecture would have to be more thorough, there could be no unfairness, and the men could not help getting more out of the courses than they...
...record in the pole-vault was again raised, this time to 12 feet, 3 1-4 inches. In every intercollegiate meet for a number of years the record in this event has been beaten and it is hardly likely that the present mark will remain for any length of time. Of the six men who cleared 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches, Friday, Campbell of Yale was the only one to reach the new mark. Nelson of Yale failed to repeat his performance of the dual meet and tied with Barr of Harvard at 12 feet. Cook of Cornell...
