...contestants showed a disposition to start the mill. Clement feinted in vain for an opening. Finally Grew led and the round ended with several sharp rallies. The second round was a marked contrast. The instant time was called the fighting began. Clement led and was countered by Grew's right. Clement got in a number of blows; those of Grew were mostly swinging rights and went hard. The rounds were very even. Clement forced the fighting at the beginning of the third round. The work tired him, and then came Grew's turn. In the two previous rounds...
Just because the rooms are few in number the oldest classmen should have the first right to them. In the old days, a Harvard senior could not graduate with a clear conscience unless he had roomed in Holworthy. Nowadays, he is lucky if his last hours are spent within sight of the old pile! Will you kindly ask the parietal committee, or whoever has our welfare in charge, to institute some graded system, by which the classes should draw for rooms in order of their seniority.

Your contributor says that different teams have represented us in different contests. They may have had a change in number 3 or 2, but they have been virtually the same, and the '88 man in question has pulled on them all. As to his argument concerning the right of the '87 men to pull in the class boat this year, it may be said that they are no longer 'Varsity men, and hence do not come under the rule respecting the latter. In the case of '88's coxswain, I do not get the drift of his very lucid argument...
...games of the Ninth Regiment in December last; and still a third pulled last year. If, then, the fact that one of the '88 team has pulled on one of these many university teams destroys the justice of his pulling for '88 now, it would be perfectly right for '88 to complain of the present '87 crew on the ground that most of them had last year or the year before, or at some past time, rowed in the university boat...
