These faults in the boat will probably prevent the crew from using her until the weather is warmer-about the end of March. This is unfortunate for the crew this year depends more than most crews upon the coaching they receive. The men are not expected to think for themselves or to be able to improve, except under the eye of a coach. If they had the launch out at the earliest possible minute, say March 1, the coaching could be done to much greater advantage. Many of the crew men are already impatient that such fine weather...
When to these considerations is added the fact that in New England since 1878 Harvard has made a gain of 484 while Yale has made a gain of 16 we think that Harvard men may reasonably be jubilant...
There are a number of men in college who are pushing the dual league scheme, and the Athletic committee have almost played into their hands.

Several years ago the sport was very popular, but as its really dangerous character became recognized, it lost, to a great degree, its place among athletics. I, myself, think that the colleges should abolish the sport without doubt. In an experience of several years I have found it almost invariably the case that at some time in his career every tug-of-war man receives some injury, be it serious or otherwise, from the so called sport.
