Both the graded and Freshman crews have been developing very slowly of late. The Newell graded eights have gained a long even swing, but have gained this at the expense of snap and life. Any attempt to enliven the work is invariably accompanied by a rushed recovery. The men are slow at both ends of the stroke, especially at the finish. This unsatisfactory work is due very largely to repeated absences of the oarsmen; on several days the first crew has not rowed...
...inferior to Hogan. The latter has also the advantage of experience in the position. Wilhelmi, although considerably heavier than the average end, is nevertheless fast. He is, however, very inexperienced in the duties of the position, and constant coaching will have to supplement his natural ability to make him even a fair and for the championship games. Neal, the leading candidate for this position until his injury in the Wesleyan game, is again in condition to play. Back of the line S.

Professor F. Y. Edgeworth delivered the third of his lectures yesterday evening on "Value in a Regime of Monopoly."

It may be questioned how much the terms given by a monopolist are worse for the public than those which would be obtained, under like conditions, in a regime of competitors where the number of competitors is small. The oppressiveness of monopoly seems to disappear when the system is supposed to become universal: those...
...between the two colleges since 1898, when Harvard and Yale tied at Ardsley in the intercollegiate tournament. The finish of the last match between Brown and Potter was very exciting, for all the other matches were finished and Harvard was one hole to the good. Brown and Potter were even when they played the last hole and both knew that the result of the whole match depended on which of them won his match. The last hole was halved in four, giving the victory to Harvard by one hole, or one and one half points...
