There is another possible reason for this state of affairs. Has the Senior Class come to the full realization of the fact that after all they are Seniors and that they are now laying the foundations of a fund which in time will be handed over to the University as a token of loyalty from the Class of 1908? Do they realize that unless the subscriptions are largely increased within the next few days there will not be funds enough to meet the expenses of the Class dinner, the last undergraduate affairs of the Class? Comparisons are odious at best...
...overworked, what they had to do was done well. McCall, Leonard, Simons, and Harding all figured in fast plays, and Harvey captured three hard flies in the outfield. Currier caught an excellent game, as well he might with Hartford pitching in the best of form. It is a noteworthy fact that Cornell has made but one run off Hartford in 28 innings...
From now on the real hard work comes. As yet there has been practically no strenuous rowing--in fact not a single time row has been taken over the full course this spring. For two miles the crew has abundant speed, and there is reason to believe that they can go the full course equally fast. The results so far have given the University that confidence in the crew's ability that is as necessary to victory as too much confidence is fatal...
...exceeded 30 to the minute after the first of the race. The University crew, on the other hand, maintained a rate of 34 to the minute practically throughout the entire two miles, and finished at nearly 37. This had an important bearing on the result, as did also the fact that the crew rowed much better together than Cornell, who had rowed in the same order only four times previous to the race. The Cornell men appeared to row more as individuals than as a crew, and there were obvious discrepancies between the lighter men in bow and stern...
...much to expect of Cornell that a finished crew could be put into the race after the changes which had been made only a short time ago and, in fact, it was the worst Cornell crew that the University crew has ever rowed. However, it is more the manner in which the University crew rowed the race than the victory over their rivals that is gratifying. They showed great adaptability in the rough water, as well in the rigging of the boat as in their oarsmanship, and the physical condition of the men was all that could be desired...
