...disturb an eight-oared crew, even when the launch is running at high speed. The bows flare out rather sharply over the surface of the water just above the waterline and give a quick rotary motion to the bow wash, casting the water under the boat, while the broad, almost flat-bottomed stern has the effect of smoothing the water out and leaves a broad shallow furrow in its wake. By combining, thus, speed and easy handling in a boat so constructed that it is able to ran close to shore or near to the crew which is being coached...
...splendid showing against Dartmouth and the steady improvement during the past week now leads us to look forward confidently to a Harvard victory. Last year we lost to Yale; the year before we won by the smallest of margins; and now the meets stand ten apiece. It is almost needless to say that the team realizes this situation.

Yale tied Princeton in their annual dual track meet at New Haven on Saturday, the final score being 58 1-2 to 58 1-2.

After all it is an impressive custom, this wearing of the cap and gown in the last few weeks of undergraduate life, and everyone realizes it. It is only, therefore, as a reminder that we urge upon the Senior his individual duty to stand by his class and join...
...second, a "squeeze" play was in order, but caption Potter, who was at bat, did not hit and Babson was caught off the base. He finally managed to get back safely, but Wingate had taken too great a lead from second, and was trapped between second and third, almost forcing Babson. The play resulted in Babson finally scoring and Wingate reaching third, after nearly every member of the Colby team had handled the ball...
