...with a continual run of ill success that has been most discouraging. Year after year the college has been represented by nines, whose players, as individuals, stood high upon the rolls in point of fielding or of batting, and yet each year, opening in promise, has closed with defeat. Last year our nine slowly fought its way to the front until it stood even with the Blue; then we staked everything on the memorable "tie game" at New York-and lost. This year the championship is ours, beyond all uncertainty and doubt. Let us appreciate our good fortune, then...
...from which to select, has succeeded in getting together a crew of which Harvard need feel no shame, whatever may be its success at New London. Let the crew remember that it is on the water that Harvard has ever looked for success with the greatest confidence, and that defeat there is felt most grievously. The college bids you good by, and hopes and believes that you will not break the long series of victories which have this year come to Harvard...
...there be no relaxation on the nine's part. "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," says the old proverb, and Harvard at different times has had the truth of the maxim sorely impressed upon her.

...Harvard-Yale university races, and the races of the inter-collegiate rowing association. The article is elaborately illustrated, and contains a complete record of the races, from the victory of the Harvard crew in the old One ida over the Yale boat Halcyon, in 1852, up to our defeat by Yale at New London last spring. The development of the rowing interest in American colleges is traced, and the present methods of training and racing are fully described. There can be but little doubt that Outing will be in demand this month at Harvard...
...been wasted on it, except that if the championship series is awarded to Yale with only one game to its credit, a dangerous precedent is established at once. Now Yale freshmen always have an independent way of acting with our freshmen that is truly original: if they fear a defeat on account of a weak team, they "crawl" as their freshman eleven did last fall, or their '87 nine did a year ago; if they have an unusually strong team, they win one game and then in a calm way refuse to play any more games because they have...
