...German people, be hard!" exclaims Hindenberg. That is the ultimate appeal, but a people that has been fed on military victory does not cheerfully accustom itself to a diet of defeat.

...University crew, by its defeat of Yale Saturday, brought to a successful conclusion a season which more nearly approached the normal standard of college athletics than have other sports in the University this year. Owing to the curtailment of all sport last year no first boat veterans were available for the eight.

This advantage, however, would seem to be balanced by the Crimson's lack of experienced men, none of the crew being veterans, in contrast to the Elis, who have three of last year's first boat entered in the race today, Hyatt, Mead and Vail. Statistics of the oarsmen show that the University outweighs the Eli eight pounds...
