...recent work of the crew proves that it has speed. Most of the men exhibit plenty of life and seem to have endurance enough for the long distance. The different styles through the boat and the awkward rowing of two or three men make the crew appear less favorably than it did last year before going to Poughkeepsie, but the blade work is good and well together. The chief faults of the crew are at present unsteadiness and a hurried recover. The leg drive, although it has improved lately, is not yet as powerful as it ought...
...work for Harvard rowing. Their expenses have been proportionately heavy and they are now some $600 in debt. As the 'Varsity management feels unable to do so, I have been asked by Captain Perkins to help them with the surplus money left in the '98 crew treasury. This would seem to be for the best interests of Harvard rowing; but, as it is not for a class purpose, I do not feel justified in adopting it without first asking for an expression of opinion on the part of the subscribers to the Senior crew. I hope there will...
...regard to the manner in which undergraduates would receive a compulsory course, the opinion of those who have written on the subject in English course, has been almost unanimous in approval, and this we believe is general. It would certainly seem that there could be no danger of the opposition of future undergraduates. Those who come here take things as they find them. If applied only to Freshmen as has been suggested, there could thus be little fear of its meeting with opposition. The idea of a Freshman attempting to clog the administrative wheels of an established course, is rather...
...difficult to compare the work of the two nines since the first game as they have not played the same teams. The records seem to show that Princeton is the stronger. Princeton was beaten seven to three by Lafayette, and defeated the strong Cornell and Brown teams by the scores of 11 to 6, and 4 to 1, respectively. Before Princeton played Harvard, the latter was defeated by Lafayette 8 to 1, and by Cornell 8 to 5; since then by U. of P. by the score of 3 to 2. The only victories in fact have been over rather...
...game between Harvard and Princeton this afternoon promises to be the most interesting played between the two colleges for a number of years. Neither nine seems to have displayed unusual strength in its early games and neither appears from a comparison of scores to have asserted any marked superiority over the other. The game should be a hard fought contest in which Harvard may be forced to play a stiff up-hill game although the prospects seem slightly in her favor provided she bats as well as she has of late...
