...freshmen have good reason to feel encouraged by the game last Saturday, for, although the errors were some of them bad, the general work of the team was excellent, the batting especially being very good.

...different members of this crew clip part of the stroke after hanging a short time on the full reach. The body swing is not bad, but of watermanship, have still considerable to learn. The oars are dipped too deep, and in consequence come out before the end of the stroke.
