...last heavy work in preparation for the Annapolis race next Wednesday was done yesterday, when the University crew raced a mile and seven-eighths, paced for the first mile and a quarter by the University second crew and the last half-mile by the Freshmen.

The swimming team has always been as much handicapped for want of a place in which to practice, as would be the University football team if it were confined throughout its season to the baseball cage. Yet swimming has actually done a great deal for the individuals who have tried for the team in the way of pleasurable exercise and a fair spirit of competition...
