Yesterday afternoon the University crew had moderately hard work again. The men went downstream to within about an eighth of a mile above the Harvard bridge and returned to the University boathouse. Starting out, a slow stroke was maintained and the crew worked only in short stretches until the Longwood bridge was reached. There the second crew was waiting...
...Desert Wanderings," the eighth of the "Travel Papers of Arminius," is disappointing. Perhaps the earlier papers of the series have raised our expectations too high, but this instalment certainly lacks the freshness of the earlier numbers.

Noble's scored in the first of the ninth on two successive bases on balls and loose fielding by the Freshmen...
