...substitute last year. He is said to be an excellent single oarsman, although most of his time this year has been spent in the eight. Stevenson and Hartridge, the other two men, have rowed before in their class boats. Cadwell, the little coxswain, has grown rather heavier since last year, but is still the lightest man at Yale. He has had a great deal of experience and steers a wonderfully straight course...
...freshmen, too, have a good eight, and are rowing well. They are much heavier than any other Columbia freshman crew ever sent to New London. The crew average as much as the 'varsity in weight, and number five is the heaviest oarsman in Columbia; - or in any other college for that matter. A few weeks ago they raced the University of Pennsylvania crew at New York, and only came in three or four feet behind in a mile race. Many ascribe their defeat to the poor boat in which they rowed. Their new boat arrived only a short time...
...probably the '85 boat. Corbin is back again in the boat, having recovered entirely from his recent illness. It is uncertain who will pull No. 1. Wilcox and Mosle are both trying for the position, but it is thought that the former has the better chance, as he is heavier and stronger. - Globe...
...great event of the afternoon was the middle-weight sparring between G. R. Ashe, '87, and I. R. Thomas, '88. Thomas is twenty pounds heavier and a little shorter than Ashe, who is of very slight build. The first round was opened by Ashe with a smart blow on Thomas' face; in return getting a couple of body blows. Both men were evidently saving themselves for the last two rounds. Time was called with the round in Ashe's favor. Thomas began work in the second, evidently trying to make his superior weight and strength tell by beating down...
...would be well for the Harvard freshmen to bear this in mind. In order to win next June they will have to continue the good work they are now doing in the gymnasium. Harvard, '89, has a larger and finer set of men than Columbia, and they are likewise heavier, but it has often been shown that "beef" is not absolutely essential to make a good rower. If the Harvard freshmen continue their good work throughout the year, there is no reason why '89 should not score a victory over Columbia as did Harvard, '88, last year...
