...coaching was contemptible. At no point in the game did the home team show the slightest energy. In the Yale game on Thursday, Harvard will not have the slightest chance if she plays a game anything similar to that of yesterday. The men on the coaching lines seemed to think their only duty lay merely in listlessly watching the game. and giving an occasional glance toward the base runner. It was seldom that the coacher gave the base runner any advice, and it was still more seldom that the runner followed it when given...

...first there has been no doubt that it would be finally settled in this way. The reasons for such refusal are already well known. We do not object to a freshman race with Yale, but we can row only one race, and must row Columbia, and do not think that there is room enough on the New London course for three boats to race with equal advantage. It is to be hoped that by next year some more satisfactory settlement of this vexed question can be made...
