...good. In its first match with the Longwoods, the best club in Massachusetts, Harvard was beaten, but if George Wright had not played on the Longwood eleven the score would have been very close. The last match with the Longwoods, when George Wright did not play, resulted in a draw. Our team, however, had the advantage, considering the number of wickets that had fallen...
...last week's Crimson, and wish here to say a few words in reply. The gentleman makes a few statements, which, to put them mildly, are as follows: (1) The cricket team does not practice sufficiently.

The referee met the crews at the draw of the Brookline bridge, and gave them their instructions. When all the crews had made their appearance the draw was opened, and the crews came through in the order...
...pump, about half way down the course, '83 and '85 still kept up their moderate rate of speed, while '84 at this point made a spurt, and seemed to draw up rapidly on the seniors, but the latter had evidently been waiting for this, and now having reached the smooth water for which they had been steering, they quickened their stroke, and threw their whole weight on to their oars. The result was immediately apparent, for they seemed to glide away from their opponents at a rapid rate. The sophomores and freshmen were still struggling for last place, with...
