...freshmen, too, have a good eight, and are rowing well. They are much heavier than any other Columbia freshman crew ever sent to New London. The crew average as much as the 'varsity in weight, and number five is the heaviest oarsman in Columbia; - or in any other college for that matter. A few weeks ago they raced the University of Pennsylvania crew at New York, and only came in three or four feet behind in a mile race. Many ascribe their defeat to the poor boat in which they rowed. Their new boat arrived only a short time...
...wish to congratulate the editors of the Yale News upon the energy which they have shown in issuing as an extra one of the most interesting numbers of their paper which they have ever printed. The front page bears a fine cut of the proposed gymnasium, and every effort is made to induce graduates to subscribe to the enterprise. We trust that the proposed plans may be carried out successfully, and that Yale will be enabled hereafter to enjoy all the advantages in athletic training which we have been more fortunately allowed. We have long heard complaints from New Haven...
...power to issue a challenge as Sherrill was the person seeking satisfaction, if any challenge was sent here it would be promptly accepted, and he suggested Beacon Park as the place for the contest. To this no reply has been received. Mr. Rogers has been in constant training ever since, and has been making exceptionally good time. A gentleman met Mr. Sherrill at New Haven on Saturday last, and had a long conversation with him on the subject. He accused Winston of having compromised him in the matter, as he had no intention of running against Mr. Rogers till next...
...crew has done under his captaincy. The crew has worked as hard as all Harvard crews are expected to do, and their labor, we believe, will not be in vain. The college appreciated the exhibition row which was given yesterday quite as much as any favor which has ever been conferred upon her by a university captain; and the enthusiasm of the spectators dispelled all fears that the college had no interest in the crew. Well, the crew has gone, and there will be a brief week of anxious waiting. Let us hope we shall have two more victories...
...Harvard has since that time only raced with Yale, and within the last few years with Columbia. It was decided that the races should be rowed over a four mile straight-a-way course, in eight-oared shells, with coxswains; and this is how they have been rowed ever since. The course selected for this annual race was that on the Thames River, at New London, which has proved to be a most excellent one. Since 1876, the year after the association was given up, Harvard has won six and Yale four races. These have almost invariably been well contested...
