...chief excellence of the Harvard crew is the body work; for in both time and blade-work Yale excels. Where Harvard men may lay their hopes of their crew is in that splendid dash and vim and grit in which the crimson men go at their work. In the slower stroke Yale rows far the easier, more graceful stroke. But when they come to "hit up" the stroke to 36 and 37, as in the fourmile time row on Saturday, that superb finish vanishes. The time of that fourmile row was 21m. 10s., just one minute slower than the Thames...
Harvard has been the first to lay emphasis on the idea that college athletic games should be played on college grounds. It is interesting to see that the principle has met approval elsewhere. We are not ourselves convinced that the principle is altogether feasible: it is certainly best, all things considered, to select such grounds as will give gate receipts large enough to make private subscriptions to the teams unnecessary; and tie games cannot well be played on the grounds of either of the competing teams...
Owing to the carelessness with which material of this kind is always furnished, we would not want to lay too much stress upon them, but all the facts together, even though not entire proof, are indication that the popular notion of the relative amount of money spent by Harvard and Yale students is incorrect.

The Interscholastic Tournament comes a week from Saturday, and this could not be held here with the present limited number of courts...
...dates on Holmes Field; but the case of the freshman nine makes matters different. Where it could prepare for and play its games in any satisfactory manner we do not see. Balancing the evils, we believe that the first are less than the second. We believe that since to lay out courts this spring which do not interfere with the diamond is not practicable, all courts should be postponed until next fall...
