Thus Mr. Mitchell and his troubles. But Mr. Mitchell likes exercise and combat. He daily goes through setting up exercises, frequently walks from his home (No. 934 Fifth Avenue) to his office (No. 55 Wall Street). He likes surf-swimming, the rougher the better. He plays tennis with slams and bangs. As he sits at his rather old-fashioned desk, overlooked by a picture of George Washington, and listens to his three telephones ringing, his curved eyebrows may become a bit more Mephistophelian as he remembers one of his pet business maxims?that the typical U. S. system...
...crews got off from the starting line and rowed over the first half mile of the course with all three crews abreast. Here Pearson's shell started to pull away gradually as rougher water was encountered, until it had a length and a half margin over Sturges' crew just beyond the Harvard Bridge. The strokes dropped to 29 and 28 as the water grew more troublesome, and the three boats continued downstream and across the finish line with the Sophomores three lengths ahead of the Junior eight, and Lawrence's Sophomore crew another length in the rear. The winning crew...

The Seniors took the lead shortly after passing under the Harvard Bridge and were followed closely by the second year crew with S. W. Swami '31 setting the beat. The juniors trailing slightly in the rough water, made their final bid for second place in the last quarter mile, crossing the finish line a half length behind the Sophomores...
...Barbee '28 will start on the mound for Harvard. The Crimson ace has always found the going rougher in a Yale series than in any other games of the season, but if he has a good day, the Elis should be kept well in check. F. B. Cutts '28, who has always pitched his best ball against Yale in a relief role, should be able to put to good advantage the large amount of experience he has gained this seasons if he is called upon this afternoon. Howard Whitmore '29, is a third pitcher who deserves to rank with Barbee...
