...York Herald says, editorially ; "The ease with which Harvard defeated the Columbia eight a few days ago-a crew that have demonstrated on other waters their excellence-and the overwhelming defeat which she has now administered to the Yale navy easily entitle her to the practical amateur championship of this country. * * A careful review of the race makes it clear that Harvard has at present a crew not alone the best in existence in American Amateur circles, but one that is superior to any she has had in years...
...eighth annual boat race between Yale and Harvard University eights, rowed at New London on June 28th, resulted in a crushing defeat for Yale, who received at the hands of the Harvard crew one of the worst beats on record, the crimson leading the blue at the finish by over three hundred yards. As usual, New London was crowded with representatives of both colleges, those from New Haven being largely in the majority. The majority of the betting men seemed to agree with Jasper Goodwin, the coach of the Columbia crew, in the conviction that "there is no living against...
...victorious in two class races, and has never come in last, while at the same time she has put excellent men in the university boat. In general athletics and foot-ball she has done more than her fair share of the work, while her freshman nine, although unable to defeat Yale, made a good showing. In scholarship she compares favorably with any class Harvard has sent forth, the average being a very high one. The college will join us in wishing to '83, as a fitting ending to a successful college course of four years, a pleasant class...
...they might try to get up a little enthu iasm and take a more sympathetic interest in the men who work so hard and so faithfully to gain victories for Harvard. Any man on the crew or nine will bear witness that croaking has brought the college many defeats and no victories. Men cannot be expected to play ball or row with any spirit when they have to look forward to slight praise if they win, and to unsparing and often ignorant criticism in case of defeat. We hope that the college in future will so frown upon this malicious...
...result of the Columbia race is perfectly satisfactory to Harvard. Although but little doubt was felt in Cambridge about the success of our crew, still to have our confidence justified by such a marked victory is peculiarly gratifying to Harvard. Although the charge that the Harvard crew, after defeating the Yale crew in such a fast race, was afraid to row Columba, last year, was a preposterous one, still we fear that there were many men from the New York college whose hopes so warped their judgment that they almost believed it. Such men will be relieved by the race...
