For nearly six months the men on the crew have been training hard and faithfully, and in less than two weeks the contest they have been working to win is to take place. There is no doubt that the best material available has been utilized, and the crew Harvard puts on the water is the best that careful coaching and faithful work of captain and men could make. We believe, in spite of the continuous disparagement...
