...doubt. He was simply outclassed by Williams, who played a cool, consistent game marked by periodical flashes of brilliancy. His volleys were excellent and exceedingly cleverly placed, while his base-line shots gained him many points. Armstrong frequently weakened in his service and made many doubles, in sharp contrast to his opponent who served consistently, allowing no doubles throughout the match. In spite of the fact that recent rain has made the court soft and slow, the play was fast and marked by many long and spirited rallies...
...reputation this spring in the furor that has stirred her over her crew. There have been imported coaches and rumors of revolutionary shifts in the orders and such a boiling over as never before was seen by the banks of New Haven on the Sound. And in contrast, though there have been shifts, galore and unexpected, our crews have gone on comparatively quiet waters in the public mind and few men in the University realize that we have a "rowing situation."

Quite in contrast with these accounts of modern events are the extracts from the diary of Dr. James C. White '53. The Harvard of his time--half a century ago--was hardly more than a considerable high school, and the undergraduates behaved much like high school boys. Witness these passages in the diary...
