...having the race a week or two earlier than heretofore. There is no reason why this should not be done. The three upper classes having old and experienced men in their boats can easily get down to their best form by the first of May, while the freshmen show by their present superiority over all former freshmen crews at this time of the year, that with a like improvement for the rest of the winter and spring, they will be in excellent condition to row the race at the proposed date...
...account of the foot-ball game between the Harvard and Yale freshmen, which appeared in the Boston Herald last Sunday, showed what a well contested and exciting game it was.

Yale will probably show the same spirit next year. She seems now to be unable to appreciate what a spectacle her players made last week, for, if she did appreciate it, she would have already shown it by apologizing through her press. The fact is her papers seem to uphold their team's conduct...
