...number of other eights from the Bradford, Crescent and Union boat clubs will probably enter the race. This would afford college men an excellent opportunity for watching the crew before they leave for New London, and it is to be hoped that a number will be at the finish on the Beacon street wall. Friday's morning papers will probably tell the exact time when the boats start...
There is no question that the predominance of the Cambridge "muckers" both large and small was manifest night before last. Several forays and assaults it was our lot to witness and most assuredly they were begun, although perhaps not carried to a finish by half-grown men who had not yet learned what it was to mind their own business.

The athletic committee is probably the proper executive for these duties...
...slide a little further than another with long arms, so to catch the water at the same angle and pull through a stroke of the same length. Without the slide no amount of rowing together would equalize the stroke; the short man would have to catch later or finish later than the long man, the result of which is, of course, unsteadiness in the boat and diminution of speed; for racing craft are so narrow that the blow of the blade as it takes water and the jerk as it leaves the surface are enough to give a lurch which...

The junior picture would have a sky-rocketty effect, due to the introduction of the Princeton cheer, while that of '89 would have a lurid background and a leaden finish.

Eighty-nine put in Downer in his place, after some little discussion, and the '88 men nearly knocked the ball to pieces. That eighth...
