Their body work on the whole is very good; but some of the men are short in their forward reach and almost all of them go back too far at the finish. The back work is ragged. The time is bad.

Let the fact that we are tied with Harvard, our valiant adversary, in the number of victories upon land and water incite our men to even greater efforts so that, when the last game at the field has been played and the course at New London finished, the brow of St. Elihu may once again be graced with the laurel crown...
