...teams during the years 1885-86 and 1886-87. These statistics were compiled with the greatest of care by the athletic committee, and are therefore as accurate and trustworthy as any statistics on such a subject can be. In nearly every case the standing of students on the university crew, nine, eleven, Mott Haven and lacrosse teams is largely above the average standing of the entire class. There are several instances in which men on university teams have obtained an exceedingly high rank, and many have received scholarships. It is only with respect to the athletics of the freshman classes...

The challenge was received fully two months ago, and the question as to its acceptance was thoroughly discussed at the time.

It will be seen by these figures that the averages of the crew and nine fall...
...finally decided that Caldwell will stroke the Yale 'varsity crew this year, and he will begin to train about the middle of next month. Yale is very much pleased at his decision to row, as this leaves only one seat-bow-to be filled by a new man, so the crew will practically be made up of veterans. Carter will row in his old position of starboard stroke, and will also coach the crew. It will be remembered that Carter was elected captain of the crew last spring but resigned when he went to Europe last fall. The other members...
