...three crews, including the Union Boat Club combination, started off at a fairly high clip but soon dropped their beats in deference to the state of the elements. The Crimson eight led by a slight margin after the take-off, but the Freshmen soon evened up and the two shells cut prow and prow through the first three quarters of a mile. The Unions never figured prominently after the half-mile mark...
Jumping off the line at a lively clip, both eights remained on even terms for the first dozen strokes, but here Bassett, setting the pace for the seconds, let the beat down to a long 34. The third crew, however, stroked by R. F. Bradford '23, clung to their original pace and burned out half a length's lead before the quarter mile was reached...

To defend his home a man may have to defend a trench some four thousand miles away, over seas and foreign soil. From our expert and trusted correspondents in Berlin we learn also that the German general staff has not included in its plan of war a campaign against Fitchburg, or an invasion into becastled Quincy. The home guards might well...
