Yesterday the 'varsity crew gave an exhibition row. At about half past four almost two hundred spectators had assembled on the boat-house float, and shortly after that time the crew appeared. The crew was the same as stated in yesterday's CRIMSON, except that numbers 4 and 6 changed places. This on the whole seems an advisable change. The crew pulled up and down four or five times between the two bridges, affording the spectators an excellent opportunity to watch their rowing...
...would like to call the attention of the H. U. B. B. C. Management to the fact that, while Harvard holds the championship pennant, there is no flagpole from which it may proudly float during championship games. A good-sized pole could be erected - say behind the back stop on Holmes - at a comparatively small expense, and the presence of the prize for which they were fighting would urge on the players to greater efforts, and lend a greater interest to the game in the eyes of the spectators.

...winning it by a score of 13 to 2, its many friends, though anticipating an honorable record, little thought that rival after rival would fall so regularly before the skill of its members. Victory followed victory, however, until at last the pennant has been brought to Cambridge, and will float over Holmes Field for the coming year, a needless reminder to every Harvard man of the glories by which it was won. The nine played its second game in Providence, winning it by a score of 3 to 1. New Haven was the scene of the next game. Here Harvard...
