...more interesting happenings took place than for some few days. This morning the freshmen beat the junior eight by two lengths in a two-mile race. The wind was directly behind these crews, but at the mile mark the time was caught for 5 minutes 11 seconds, which is good time. The first crew was out on two regulation paddles today, and gave the best account of itself since the season started...
Link allowed but one hit, a single by Bush in the fifth. Garfield also pitched good ball, allowing only four safeties. The lone tally came in the ninth, when Shea walked, advanced to second on Scully's single, stole third, and came home on a beautiful squeeze play, with Law at the bat.

The real solution lies in the spirit which gets men out and makes them interested in working for their college. It is foolish to say that Harvard has no track material. Out of the 1100 odd men who are eligible for teams there...
