...composed their team, we expected a hard game. For to oppose Yale's veteran eleven - all of her players had been at least one year on the 'Varsity - we had a team made up almost entirely of new men. Yale outweighed us, too, considerably, the average weight of her rushers being over 170 pounds. To support this line of forwards, they had Camp, Watson, and Badger, well known as fine half-backs. Our men, on the other hand, were lighter, and rather weak in their half-backs, the latter fact being especially noticeable in the game. The time...
...others, and is composed of the following men: C. H. W. Foster (bow); Swan (2); Hemenway (3); Hammond (4); Otis (5); Howard (6); Freeland (7); Brandegee (stroke). All these men are identified with the rowing interests of their class, and four pulled in the University Crew last year.

On entering the last half-mile, however, they began one of the most magnificent spurts (as Mr. Bancroft remarked) ever seen on Charles River...
...fast disappearing. A large swelling, undoubtedly due to love for Simpel's eldest cousin (a young lady of twenty-five), gave evidence of the unfortunate youth's affectionate nature. A trace of respect for college rule and officers was still visible. The right arm was distorted, owing to the weight of a large stick the unfortunate Freshman had been in the habit of carrying. This, and an unusually large development of his guancia, or cheek, are all that remain to be mentioned...
