...handily defeated Yale in a mile race by about three lengths. Two more preliminary races were held on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 30. The graduate eight defeated Yale in a half-mile race by a length and a half in 2 minutes, 25 seconds, making the fourth successive win in this event for Harvard. Unfortunately the race for freshman fours was a farcical affair as Yale had only three men to fill her boat, the fourth man being used in her freshman eight. The distance was cut down from a mile to a half-mile course, both crews rowing...
...Crocker '10, second-baseman, will not be back. Several others will return, however, and should prove valuable men to fill in the positions left vacant by graduation. R. S. Marshall '10 is a fast man for the infield; R. C. Brown '10 is a versatile player and may win a place either as catcher, first-baseman, or in the out-field; R. W.

...Almost daily changes during the first part of the work at New London have put the crew back considerably. The eight is still very crude, and the men are not at all well together. Although the crew is sure to improve, it does not seem as if it could win the race. Of the Yale freshman four little is known, but it is sure that Harvard's Freshman four is fast. The graduate eights have not as yet been made...
...baseball team gave proof yesterday of the quality which has been characteristic of it throughout the season--hard fighting. With the score 2 to 0 against them, and with one bad inning behind them, the men were never unsettled; they played hard and fast, and they played to win. Harvard's pitchers were the better and the Harvard team the steadier. In the words of one of the Yale players, "Harvard had the better team, but Yale had the luck to start with"; the element of luck which favored Yale at the outset was counterbalanced by Harvard's luck later...
