...whom I with some difficulty recognized Travers, once the best-dressed man in college. I don't know which of us was most delighted to see the other.

As Yale had the longer boat this claim was evidently unfair. Harvard wishes such questions settled, but, even if her wishes are not satisfied by Yale, some understanding will be reached. At any rate Harvard intends to row the race...
