...strength of the crews we have only knowledge based upon speculation. For all of the crews this is the first race of the year. Princeton is heavier and apparently more powerful than last year when they made a plucky fight against Cornell and Harvard. Pennsylvania though necessarily an almost unknown quantity is nevertheless dangerous. In mere speculation the chances for a Harvard victory seem the brightest. Much remains of the splendid strength of last year and under the inspiring leadership of Captain Abeles and Coach Wray the crew is developing a finish which makes it not unreasonable to hope...

The old attitude which President Quincy assumed to be permanent did provoke much solid and healthy reading of literature that is intrinsically good, which many...
...University hockey team will meet. Ottawa University in the second scheduled game in the Arena this evening at 8.15 o'clock. The Ottawa players are comparatively unknown to this part of the country, though the team is every year a strong contender for championship honors in Canadian intercollegiate hockey. An idea of the strength of the Ottawa team, however, may be obtained from the fact that it defeated McGill 4 to 3 in New York on Saturday, Playing the best hockey seen there this season. The Ottawa men are very speedy skaters and maintain a fast pace throughout the game...
