...unfortunate that so many accidents should have happened at nearly the same time at the very beginning of the season, when of course practice together tells for a great deal. Still, there is luckily time enough for most of the men to get back and get into trim again before the college games begin; and there is consequently no need for the college to give up hopes of putting a good representative nine into the field for those contests. We are especially lucky in having a good second nine from which to draw substitutes for any places which...
...most anxiously awaited event of the evening was the final bout of the Middle Weight Sparring contest between Lee, '83, and Page, '83. Both men appeared in excellent trim, Page looking especially fine, but both seemed afraid of one another, and very few blows were given in this round.

...cannot agree entirely with the writer in this week's Crimson in his argument against the desirability of Freshman crews. Upper-classmen are apt to monopolize the places in the club boats; but the men who rowed on the Freshman crew in their Sophomore year are in capital trim to take the places in the boats of the men who have graduated. Again, men in the Freshman class are more sought for to make up a class crew by a captain of their own class than they would be by the club captains, who know what some men are worth...
