...mention that this game was played on Thanksgiving day, so that both the number was exceptionally large and also no students were kept from their college work. If this number is cited, and no other figures are given, with an intention of giving any idea of what usually occurs, even approximately, at other contests out of town, it is wholly misleading. There is usually one decisive ball match, which occurs between Class day and Commencement, at a time when there are no collegiate exercises, which attracts about 50 students from Cambridge, and the university boat race, which is also largely...
...prove a negative, but, so far at least, I have found no evidence of any such thing. I feel convinced that the committee, in its ardor, have accepted some false rumor for a fact. At all events they admit, I understand, that no such thing has recently occurred, and even supposing it may have taken place in the past, its own voluntary cure without a suspension of the games leaves the majority of your committee in the attitude of the investigator into the Tewksbury almshouse, who found all the ills had been cured before the investigation began...

Until the last third of a mile the boats were nearly even, with a slight advantage in favor of '89. '88 then made a fine spurt and finished half a length ahead of '89. '90 had already crossed the line fully two lengths ahead. The freshmen spurted pluckily toward the end, and finished about three lengths behind '89. '90's time...
