...aesthetic objection which has been raised to the fence about the new athletic grounds can be very easily solved, as has been suggested, by building a fence around the grounds which shall be ornamental in itself. In this connection we would suggest to the committee a consideration of the style of fence which is to surround the new athletic grounds at Yale. This consists of a thickly planted hedge of sufficient height closely flanked by a barbed wire fence. Such a fence would certainly answer all purposes, and would besides meet very well several of the objections urged against...
...kept continually bolted, barred and locked. Nobody enters there unless he is a member of the crew or a coach. There is great anxiety lest some one interested in the Harvard crew may see and report to them something about Yale's peculiar boat and the new style of rigging. Matters have come to such a pass nowadays that the crew resort to all sorts of tricks to deceive those who are watching them. They will pull a very slow or a very quick stroke, as fancy pleases them; or they will row a long distance in good form...
Besides having entire confidence in their stroke, the boating men and the college generally believe thoroughly in the new style of boat and rigging used by them last year.

The belief was so general last year that the race was lost through the bad steering of the coxswain, and the feeling against...
...freshmen at Providence on Saturday by a score of 15 to 7. The batting of Harvard was very heavy, while they made but three fielding errors. Magill injured a finger while practising before the game, and was obliged to give place to Austin who played first base in fine style. The catching of Kimball and the short stop play of Edgerly were features of the game, while Gardner made a difficult catch in left field. The fielding of Brown was wretched. On batting, Phillips, Chamberlain, Edgerly and Gardner led for Harvard, and Harris for Brown. The following is the score...
...finish, the crews all spurted; in the meantime the sophomores had taken third place from the freshmen. At this point the form of the seniors and sophomores was noticeably good, while the juniors seemed to be slightly broken up. The seniors crossed the finish line rowing in superb style and seemingly with ease in 11.41. The time of the juniors was 12.04; sophomores, 12.10; freshmen, 12.23 1/2. The poorness of the time was due to the rough water in the first mile of the course...
