...noisy drum and a squeaky horn traversed the streets of our noble city and awoke its sleepy inhabitants. There was no question in the minds of all, but that the Seniors were loose for the day. After some weird and wonderful music by this voluntary band, Kanrich's bunch of tunemurderers arrived in the Yard and were soon joined by the aught-sevens, dressed in every variety of costume from pajamas to red caps and downs. Every one received an official badge and a producer of music(?) and the whole army marched around Cambridge and through Memorial Hall, where...
...Beckwith, inspector of customs, at New London, V. Chappell of Yale, and C. H. Schweppe '02, chairman of the regatta committee. The start of the course has been shifted considerably, the first mile flag being 100 feet west of its usual position. In order to avoid a large bunch of eel-grass, which has previously impeded the crews, the mile and a half flag has been shifted 200 feet farther west. This change will make a turn in the course unavoidable...

Greene, although striking out ten Freshmen, gave four bases on balls and allowed six hits, two of which were for two bases...
...Freshmen last Monday by the score of 7 to 4 have been defeated by the Yale freshmen by the score of 5 to 3. In that game, however, the Brown freshmen completely out batted and out fielded the Yale team and would have won but for an inability to bunch hits. Andover easily defeated the Yale freshmen by the score of 14 to 4, but only defeated the Harvard Freshmen by the score of 2 to 1, the latter losing two runs through stupid base-running. The game today should be close, but the chances are in favor...
