...holds the inter-press tug-of-war championship, won in '83, the championship in the oared scratch race, (Oct. 11, 1884), and the championship of the inter-press foot ball elevens, (Nov. 10, 1885). The CRIMSON nine of '85 paralled the record of the great 'varsity nine, losing not even an exhibition game. Yesterday for the second time, the representatives of the CRIMSON won the amateur base-ball championship of the university and captured the cups offered by the management of the H. U. B. B. C. If there is another field to which we can now turn for laurels...
...long, slow pull. Speaking of "timers," it may be of interest to mention what time is usually made for various distances. Anywhere from twenty to twenty-five minutes is about the average time made by college crews for a four-mile race, - although last year Harvard's time was even more than this, - but it must be borne in mind that on that day the conditions of the course were especially unfavorable.

A flag supported by a metal rod is fixed in the stern of the shorter boat, and another on the longer boat, at a distance forward from the center of that boat, equal to one half the length of the shorter boat. The two crews are started even and timed at the finish by these flags. In case of a close finish the referee may reserve his decision, but not longer than the day of the race. In each successive year, the crews must row on alternate courses, Yale having the east course this year...
...seldom that an instructor is afforded the opportunity of becoming so closely related with the undergraduates as has been given Mr. Jones in his work, but it is even more seldom that an instructor has been able so to gain the universal good will of the students with whom he has been so related. We wish Mr. Jones every success for the future and trust that he may be speedily induced to return to his work at Harvard...
