...track every day during the winter supposed to do his college work conscientiously, while the basketball player neglects his? Such a supposition is ob- viously absurd. Either both athletes will study, or both will not do any work.

Although the first crew rows fairly well, it is palpably weak in certain points; it fails to keep the boat on any sort of even keel, washes out on the finish by feathering under water, and hurries the slides back before the catch has fully been made...
