...first postponement may be excused by the fact that some who expected to paddle on that day had to row in the class crews against the 'varsity, But Monday was a good enough day for anybody who had the least interest in the sport, and the failure of the contestants to appear shows a lack of spirit. If a man has no interest in canoeing he cannot be blamed, but if he has interest enough to enter for a race he ought to contest.

In fact, the work of the nine thus far has been encouraging, and the college confidently expects that its showing at New Haven will be creditable. The college has good reason for this feeling, in that it has seen the men doing unusually hard work this year under unusually capable and energetic...
