...race was at New London, and was three-cornered,--Yale and Cornell being the other two crews. The crew in this race was certainly in good condition, but it did not contain good material, and what speed it had could only be shown, in smooth water. Harvard was last in the race...
...Freshman interclub fall regatta was held yesterday under exceptionally favorable conditions. The water was smooth and a slight wind was against the crews. Three crews from both the Newell and the Weld were entered. The course was from the Union Boat Club 1 1-2 miles up stream. The positions of the crews at the start were, beginning at the Beacon street wall: 1, Third Weld; 2, Third Newell; 3, Second Weld; 4, Second Newell; 5, First Weld; 6, First Newell...
...hard and timely hitting the nine won the second game from Pennsylvania on Saturday, 11 to 3. Pennsylvania's errors with men on the bases made the game an easy one.

Besides being timely and hard the batting was scientific. Three times when the first...

Bancroft drove the crew better than usual and rowed a higher stroke than in any of the other long stretches this year. At times the crew showed a tendency to go to pieces but Bancroft kept the stroke steady, and, on the whole, the boat travelled much better than it has before...
...head. It was good for a home run, but a two base hit was all that was necessary to score the winning run. The game was full of excellent playing. In the field Harvard did some brilliant work, two fast double plays being especially notable, and Michigan's smooth and easy fielding was the best done on Soldiers Field this year. At the bat Michigan did not make as many hits as Harvard, but of them were harder and came more opportunely. Taking into consideration the cold weather and slippery ground, Harvard's general playing was faster and more accurate...
