...University of Pennsylvania to our freshmen for a race at New London, is deserving of careful consideration, especially after the unexpected course of the Harvard navy management has rendered it probable that there will be no race this year with the Harvard freshmen.

Towards the end of the round both were somewhat winded...
...with a lively rally. Dame used his left and kept away from a good many of Grew's swinging rights. Grew hit several body blows. He kept up the same game in the second round and seemed intent on winding Dame. Dame replied to a swinging right with a straight right and left, both of which hit squarely.

He worked for Dame's wind and tried to swing...
