...average weight is 172 pounds, which is very heavy. Caldwell, who stroked the crews of '86 and '87, has clung to his determination not to row this year, in spite of all reports to the contrary. Most of the coaching is being done by Cowles and Rogers, captains of the '86 and '87 crews. Yale men say their crew is not rowing as well as usual at this time of the year, but predict better work on the arrival of the new shell which is expected in a few days, They are very confident of winning at New London...
...base running of Harvard was poor, and the coaching at times very bad, causing men to get out at third in two cases. The runners clung too closely to their bases, taking little lead when the ball was pitched. Amherst ran bases much better.

Allen's hands were puffed and swollen, but he pluckily caught throughout the game, though Nichols was at times...

The history of the American colonies before the Revolution affords the most striking instance known to history of great industrial activity arising from natural advantages, and the intelligence and skill of the population. No tariff protected the colonies, yet there...
...defeat was a surprise. Within the last few years, however, a defeat at the hands of Yale or Princeton has not shocked the tender sensibilities of the college as it once did. In fact a victory over Yale became as infrequent as a college holiday. But we still clung to the hope that our team, although outplayed by Yale and Princeton, could at least beat the smaller colleges. Even in this hope, however, we have been disappointed. The question naturally arises: "Where is this to end? Shall we a few years hence be playing games with preparatory schools?" Although this...
