...bring with them a reputation as leaders in the athletic sports at the academies whence they come, without allowing time enough to inquire into the merits and abilities of the several candidates. The result of this custom is, as was to be expected, that in the majority of cases these reputed leaders have failed to maintain their own prowess, as well as to discharge satisfactorily the executive and financial duties incumbent upon them. To avoid this undesirable result, it has been suggested that the three captains should be elected temporarily, so as to have some...

We also learned that the success of eleven or fifteen men depends upon their unanimity in playing, and this, in turn, depends on the constant practice of all the members of the team.

We are happy, however, to be able to state that the facts in the case do not warrant such a conclusion. Yale, to be sure, has a much better crew in some respects than that of last year. The men are heavier, taller, and row in better form; but they are all new men except three, - a fact greatly in our favor, and one that superficial writers in making their...
