...Harvard is going to get back the Mott Haven cup in May, the men on whom she relies to win it for her have got to stop going backward and begin going forward. If the men who contested these events cannot do better, others must come foward who can. We want to win back the cup, and we can never do it by half-hearted work. Every one who can must work hard and earnestly or we shall again be obliged to see the cup carried off by some college that has not half our advantages, but has, what...

This was owing to the general doubt felt about the floats being ready, etc. The four class crews, however, got off without the floats, while the 'varsity took its exercise in pulling the floats off the mud flats.

The third round opened much the same as the second, Phillips getting in some hard hits on his opponent's face and body. After a few moments, however, Lawrence planted a heavy blow on Phillips...
...between '88 and '89 was the last event of the meeting. The victory for '88 was almost a foregone conclusion. In spite of this fact, however, the '89 team pulled very pluckily. The senior team got the drop by one quarter of an inch, and soon pulled away an inch or so more. Balch caught Perry as he came down to heave and the ribbon was six inches on the '88 side. Perry, by skillful handling of the rope and by the plucky work of the team, succeeded in getting back all but an inch. The '88 team, however, pulled...
