ALTHOUGH the athletic sports on Saturday last were very successful, they were so at the expense of some irregularities. When the entries closed, on Thursday evening, there were nineteen entries for five events; of the remaining, the running broad jump had no entries and the other four but one each. Yielding to the wishes of the other members of the Executive Committee, I left open the entries until noon on Friday, when by going about and begging men to enter we succeeded in filling all the events but one.

...Tuesday last the H. U. R. C. in a match with the Wakefields were beaten by a score of 187 to 180. The teams were composed of five on a side...

Columbia she has also defeated in eight-oars. Cornell has beaten Harvard twice in six-oars, and our Freshman crew last year in an eight-oar. As far as the eight-oar "championship" goes, then, Harvard has a perfect right to that title (if she has the bad taste to choose to claim it), and is justified in sending a crew to England under that name, if she wishes. If Cornell...
