...Harvard freshmen shall row a race with the Yale freshmen has been discussed. The challenge sent from Yale a few days ago to the captain of the Harvard freshman crew brings this question once more before the college. The uncertainty as to whether three crews could row a fair race on the two-mile comse at New London, which has directed the policy of Harvard for the last two years, will have no influence on the question this winter, since the captain of the Yale crew refuses to row in a contest with two other boats.

It appears with records of old crews and nines that have not been published in any former Index, and it has a very fair picture of the Mott Haven team which won the cup for Harvard last May. The book of this year has twenty-five pages more than that of last year, this additional space being filled with the records mentioned above, the names of new clubs (principally "State clubs" formed...
