After the good work done by the nine earlier in the season, after having defeated Princeton on her own grounds, we were not prepared for such a wretched showing as that made by Harvard yesterday afternoon. The nine, by its hard work, its evident ability to play an up-hill game, had raised the hopes of the college, and although we knew that the fight for the championship would be close, yet we hoped that the nine on its own grounds at least would keep up its reputation and win a leading place for Harvard. With a good lead early...
Saturday the freshman nine plays the Yale freshmen at New Haven.

Alexander, L. S, stroke of last year's university crew. Some progress has been made during the last three weeks, but at present it is very noticeable that the crew is rowing a stroke which is short and lacks life, faults which can only be remedied by the exertion of more energy by each man individually. Since the class races Dewey has rowed four, but recently...
