Harvard passed the mile flag first in 4.59, Columbia being but two seconds behind. From this point Storrow let the stroke down to 33, while Columbia still stuck to 37 or 38. The boats were now approaching the dreaded eel-grass, and it was hoped that here Harvard would shake off her rivals, which she immediately proceeded to do. Columbia's work here seemed a little ragged. No. 7 was losing form and No. 3 was badly out of time. Harvard, however, seemed in excellent condition, their body-work being especially fine...
...safe, and two runs were scored. This disheartened the Harvard nine, for they had been playing against the umpire throughout the game, and after that their playing lacked snap. Campbell's hands were in a terrible condition, and pained him greatly throughout the game but he pluckily stuck the game out. In the eighth inning he was struck by a foul tip and had had to stop playing for a few minutes. After that Boyden evidently let up, and the result was that Yale batted the ball all over the field...
...guarded one hears the sharp thwack of the sword as it descends harmless on some part of the padding of the shoulder or throat. Suddenly a small tuft of hair seems to spring from the big man's head. "Halt!" cries his opponent's second. The swords are instantly stuck up by the seconds and the umpire steps up to examine the head. It was a close shave, but the skin is whole, so they start again. The men are now getting terribly excited. Breathless and panting they slash away at each other; and it is no easy matter...
...sentiment, with its unborrowed thought, and if Harvard can show any productions excelling these in average she will do well. 'Imagination killed a man,' and we fear that Harvard has a great deal of this quality (i. e., not poetic imagination). As our next door neighbor says: 'A man stuck on himself is the most pitiable of mortals, for he knows not the infinite pleasure of calling himself an ass." The East, on the whole, has too good an opinion of herself. Harvard, Yale and Princeton so frequently announce that they cannot be beat that many gradually believe them...
...capacity of the man. Trite as this statement may appear, perhaps there is none that is usually less regarded in the choice of a profession. All about us we see men striving to become what nature never meant they should be. Accountants, who might succeed if they stuck to that for which they are fitted, become starving "poets." Men of good sense, capable of being good doctors or able lawyers, waste their store of intellect upon wretched attempts at humour. The most important thing has, in their choice, been disregarded...
