...present. The University team this year is not composed of veterans like Yale's, which is considered invincible. Men like ours, however, prove better in the end than such an organization. Our material is as good as last year's and our chances for a victory are more than even. This year the team has again had the best coach in the country, and also the best secondary coaches for all departments. During the past week the team has shown remarkable improvement.

...shell, the University crew rowing at this point a hard 33. The second crew fought hard, however, and the University eight was now only able to gain by feet. About a quarter of a mile from the finish both crews were rowing stroke for stroke at 33 and absolutely even.

Only about one-half of those who did make the attempt seemed in the least confident of the words. It is disgraceful that so few men know even the first verse of their College song. We are printing the first verse, and hope that every man will make himself thoroughly familiar with it, so that on future occasions when...
