...far as it is possible to estimate, the outlook for a successful football season next fall is brighter than usual. Only three regular men of last year's eleven and one substitute will be lost, leaving 10 men who played in the last Yale game to form a nucleus. Captain H. Foster, Jr., '07, right halfback for two years, H. E. Kersburg '07, right guard for two years, C. G. Osborne '07, left tackle, and S. Fraser '07 substitute centre, will graduate...
...afternoon the work was harder. The University and Freshman eights rowed downstream together in easy stretches as far as the 2 1-2 mile mark. The crews then turned around and started back with the Freshmen slightly in the lead. The crews remained in about the same relative position for some distance, when the Freshmen started to draw ahead and gained a quarter of a boat length. Farley then raised his stroke and the crews raced for a quarter of a mile. The University eight spaced well and finished a half a length in the lead. The University four...
...Saturday was light for all crews except the University four-oar, which covered about 7 miles in the afternoon. The University eight rowed over the four-mile course in the afternoon in 22 minutes and 33 seconds. This is the best time tat the crew has made so far this year, but the conditions were particularly favorable. At the start, Farely rowed about 36 strokes to the minute, but soon lowered his pace to 28 strokes. This rate was maintained over the entire course, with the exception of a slight raise at the two-mile mark, and at the finish...
...afternoon, covering the distance in 22 minutes and 46 seconds. There was a slightly favoring tide; but Blagden steered a poor course, losing the force of the tide by not staying near enough to the channel. At about 7.15 o'clock the men went in the launch downstream as far as the New London railroad bridge. The crew got away with a good start and rowed about 32 strokes per minute for the first half-mile, which was covered in good time. Then the stroke was lowered until the end of the second mile, where the Freshman eight was waiting...
...objected that the concert to be given in Sanders Theatre as part of the program of Class Day week has been substituted and that Yard concerts would have detracted from the interest on this occasion. As far as the undergraduates are concerned a formal appearance in Sanders Theatre does not take the place of the open-air concerts, for the presence of the Glee and Mandolin clubs would have added a great deal to the informal singing that has been attempted this spring. Nor does it seem probable that the songs, no matter how well-known to the Harvard...
