...Pennsylvania eights lived up to the high praise which they have received and showed two powerful, fast combinations as they paddled away from the Weld Boathouse. A prominent critic of rowing has remarked of Pennsylvania's showing two week ago that "any crew that can hit 43 1-2 strokes for a full minute and keep anything like the length in the water that every coach is looking for, will prove hard indeed to beat." Those who saw the Red and Blue crews yesterday will agree with this conclusion; it is evident that the University will have to show...
...less even tenor of its way. All, that is, but the supposably "economic" conference of the nations at Genoa, which, during the past week or ten days, has passed from the potentially sublime to the positively ridiculous. What "might have been" an extremely sane and important conclave is fast deteriorating into a free-for-all diplomatic contest with no holds barred...
There is no space here to enter into the various ramifications that have brought this change to pass. From the discovery of a secret Russo-German treaty, ultimatum, reply, charge of ambiguity, counter-reply, and second ultimatum have followed "fast and ever faster," until the whole procedure is now entangled in a maze of words and assumed misunderstandings.

McKim, who was the selection for the 100-yards in the Oxford...
...this year and was due in part to the fact that the latter hit his knee in the first heat and was almost limping as he reached the finish; a circumstance which undoubtedly affected his running in the second heat. The time in the Freshman races was almost as fast as in the University trials. W. B. Thomas won the first heat; S. M. Clarke and Jefferson Fletcher trailing him closely, while the second heat secured an exact reversal with Fletcher winning and Thomas last...
