...from trying, however, for in a month's practice the choice of players will be very difficult, and often certain points in a new player will turn the decision in his favor. Beyond the number of candidates it is hoped and expected that a large number will show their interest in the eleven and its work by appearing on the field daily to encourage the players. Do not let any of the team have occasion to complain of any lack of support in their hard struggle of the next two months...
...much was expected as a pitcher, and who was one of our heaviest batters, was obliged to leave college. The nine, in spite of these set-backs, worked manfully all through the winter, and was just getting ready to begin the championship contest when Winslow, who had begun to show evidence of extraordinary ability as a pitcher, was taken ill and was obliged to stop play.

At the end of the third mile Harvard's lead was five lengths, which was increased in the next half mile to seven lengths...
...congratulations to the crew. After such a victory, the college should require no more urging to bring out the sum necessary for the support of the crew. The deficit is still a large one and should be made up at once. We hope every man who is able will show his confidence in the crew and his gratification at the result of yesterday's race by subscribing to its support at once...
