Harvard defeated Lovell's nine yesterday, in rather an uninteresting game, 8 to 1. The day was cold and raw, and the attendance was very small...
...scratch races for four-oared crews took place yesterday afternoon, after a delay of about one hour. It was a cold, bleak day on the river and a cutting wind made it disagreeable for the few shivering spectators. It took two preliminary heats and one final to decide the races. With the exception of the substitution of R. J. Carey instead of S. M. Brice, the make-up of the crews was the same as was printed in yesterday's CRIMSON.

Under ordinary circumstances a man has to wait in line for his bath long enough without having to stand many more minutes on that cold, wet floor while the glow of his exercise is slowly leaving him, all the time waiting for the hot water to come back again. This takes it for granted that he finally gets hot water. When, however, he does not, he has either to take a sudden plunge...
