...point winners in the jump. With the loss of Grant, the team is left without any pole-vaulter of much ability, and in the hammerthrow, W. Peirce '08 and H. M. Gilmore '08 can hardly make up for the loss of Kersburg. In the high jump the outlook is better. Somers, Roosevelt, and Harwood have all done 5 feet, 9 or 10 inches, and may improve. Stephenson is very consistent in the shot-put and can be reckoned upon to defeat any man of his weight who may oppose him. He will be seconded by C. C. Little...
...record of two races lost, and during the first week of practice on the Thames, the reports were in general unfavorable. Recent developments are proving, however, that the University eight is of strong calibre. The latest time trial was very satisfactory and the men seem to be working together better. With the final eight picked, and another week for Coach Wray to round the crew into perfect form, Harvard's chances of victory seem very bright. Our only wish is that Captain Bacon's men will have to further setbacks due to sickness. With the crew in its best condition...
...hoped that Harvard will be well represented in the stands at the New Haven game. We are sure that the team will be much better able to cope with the advantage which the Yale players will derive from the inspiration of a Class Day crowd if they are backed by a large Harvard cheering section. We would suggest that those who contemplate witnessing the races at New London should make their plans to reach New Haven on Tuesday, and have the opportunity--as we hope--of seeing Harvard victorious in two of her major sports...
...University eight rowed downstream about a mile and a half this morning accompanied by Wray in his single scull. A moderate stroke was maintained and the boat went better than it has at any other time this year. In the afternoon, however, the showing was less satisfactory. The crew went downstream again to the Navy Yard and back in long stretches--and one half-mile was rowed with a stroke of 38, which was raised to 40 in the last 100 yards. The boat travelled better with the fast stroke than it did with the slow. Nevertheless, the work...
...will detract from the credit which the team has earned in previous games; but it cannot be denied that the final series is the most important factor in determining whether the season shall be considered successful or not. We are confident that our team at its best is a better team than any Yale can place on the field, and we are equally confident that the Harvard team will play its pluckiest and best game today. We believe it will not come amiss to thank Coach Pieper for his untiring devotion to the best interests of the baseball team...
