...stood up in front of the pilot house and made it impossible for the pilots to see where they were going. A little more forethought will make such cause of complaint unnecessary in the future. The other thing was more serious. The '90 boat, when it got the lead, steered into '89 water, and for over three-quarters of a mile gave the junior crew their swash. Whether this action was intentional on the part of the sophomore boat or not, it is to be reprehended, for it takes from the race what it ought above all things to have...

...would only practice has a show of getting a place in the New York game. The '91 twomile bicycle race came next. Brown, Bailey and Davis were the starters.

We must learn how to play an uphill game-to be as careful and steady when the score is against us as when it is for us. Our games with Yale and Princeton can be won only...

...loss of several good men. Only five innings were played yesterday, as the visitors left early in order to catch a train. The game was remarkable for the number of errors made by the visitors, who evidently were not in practice. No less than ten Harvard men got first on errors. Harvard failed to score only in the second inning. In the fifth, on seven hits and a series of errors, Harvard scored eight runs. This inning was noticeable for the poor base-running of the home team...
