...exercise which forces the athlete to take a breath every time he pulls a stroke. The normal respiration of a man is about 17 breaths a minute. Now if the rate of stroke is, say 34 strokes to the minute, it means that the oarsman is breathing twice as fast as the naturally would. Increase the rate of stroke and the strain on the heart of the man becomes proportionately greater because no human being could stand the strain of a high stroke over such a distance. The strain on the heart is therefore a gradual if a long pull...
...Harvard-Yale and Poughkeepsie races were inaugurated in imitation of the Oxford-Cambridge race of somewhat over four miles on a fast current. We have at most of our rowing colleges, been for years rowing a distance which seems unsuited to our climatic conditions, our natural physiological temperament, and to the local conditions prevailing at most of our rowing colleges, merely because under entirely different circumstances, Englishmen have developed a four-mile tradition...
...week after the latter had taken a game from the Tigers, 6 to 3, makes the Crimson a slight favorite, although Princeton's practice, culminating in a brilliant 4 to 3 victory over Yale last Wednesday at New Haven shows that the New Jersey team has developed very fast. Princeton has played six games so far, winning from St. Paul's, Williams and once from Yale, and losing to the B. A. A., Dartmouth and in the first game of the Yale series. The University has won three out of four games, from the Boston Hockey Club, technology and Dartmouth...

Especially conspicuous in the forward line defence work are Baker and Percy, who are also fast men on the offence. Townsend and Rice are valuable wing men, the latter being the most accurate shot on the team, and these two can be depended on to hold up the ends of the line...
...this year, but is rapidly working into his new position at right wing. As a centre two years ago he was a general choice for the all-college team, and although he is not yet quite thoroughly used to the end position, he gives promise of developing into a fast, aggressive man to hold up the end of the offence. On the other wing, Rice is the most accurate shot on the team. His main fault is a lack of speed, but his good work with the stick more than makes up for this. He played the wing position last...
