...CRIMSON congratulates itself upon having initiated a custom which bids fair to become permanent. Last year the "amateur championship" in base-ball was instituted, and for the first time in the history of the college definite regulations were drawn up to govern the contest. Although the whole affair was started as an experiment, it met with marked success, and the Base-Ball Association has recognized the value of the training obtained, having modelled the series of this year upon the lines of that instituted by the CRIMSON last spring. The fact that such a contest was needed is shown pretty...

...decide. To Yale the proposed race offers very evident advantages, while to Harvard it offers extra work and probably extra expense, without any great benefit that we can see. Perhaps the only argument that Harvard men can offer for the race is that it will be one more contest with their most distinguished rival. Such an argument, however, has weight. Probably a similar argument has also largely influenced the Yale freshmen in their recent action. If our freshmen find that one more race can be rowed by them without seriously increasing the strain and expense already necessary, we think that...
...Cambridge-Oxford boat race was rowed last Saturday. The race was close and exciting throughout, there being no open water between the boats during the contest. Cambridge won in 22 min. 9 1-2 sec., half a boat length ahead. The average weight of the Cambridge men was 170.9 pounds; of the Oxford crew, 171.3. The time was the slowest since 1877, as the race was rowed against strong head winds all the way. The record for the past eleven years is, Oxford, 7 races; Cambridge, 4; and one dead heat...
