...this time the freshmen had found their proper boats, and were being instructed by the various upperclassmen about the intricacies of rowing. As each eight left the float much amusement was afforded to the crowd of spectators by the evolutions in which some of the men indulged. When a coxswain cried out, "Let her run!" it seemed to act as a signal for renewed efforts in rowing. And the port side was sadly mixed up with the starboard, so that some little difficulty was experienced in getting the eights into line. These little mistakes, however, were very natural...
...offer to the Boat Club in regard to them: first, that they be started promptly. It has always been the rule to start them a half hour behind time, but November is not September, and it will not be pleasant to sit and shiver on the boat house float while the boats are getting ready; neither will it be pleasant for the men who are waiting on the water. The second suggestion is, give up a place to see the races from. Again turning to our former experience, we remember having had to push and jar our way through...

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.

Why could not this be done before the last championship game...
...interest in out-door sports revives. The tennis courts are always occupied, but as there is no tournament to excite special work in that direction, Lake Wabau offers greater attractions. The crews of the several classes have begun diligent practice in order to make their annual display on "Float Day." This occurs on Saturday, June 5th, and shows to our guests the result of the fall and spring training of the crews by their respective captains. The junior crew usually does the smoothest work, since their daily practice is not interrupted by those preparations for commencement in which the seniors...
