...Foster. This week, during the absence of B. B. Thayer, Harrington is rowing with the crew. Only a brief mention can be made of individual faults. No. 1 invariably catches behind in consequence of an extra reach he endeavors to take; No. 2 does not pull his oar clear through to the end; No. 3 swings out badly, and feathers under water; No. 4 swings in, and faces his oar over too much; No. 5 uses his slide too soon; No. 6 sinks his oar at the finish; No. 7 rushes the end of the recover; No. 8 allows...

TUG-OF-WAR.The final event of the meeting was the tug-of-war between eighty-six and eighty-five. For this event the floor was, for a wonder, kept entirely clear, so that the spectators experienced no difficulty in watching the progress of the contest. The signal cord was operated by Mr. Sexton, '84, and the word was given by Mr. Morison, '83. Some time was consumed in getting a fair start, but when the word was finally given both teams came down with an even drop. By repeated heaves the ribbon was brought over to the '86 side...
