...this year. It is true that due notice had been given that a certain amount of support would have to be pledged to prevent this decision, but we doubt if the students generally fully realized and appreciated the importance of giving their support to prevent this result. If a longer time had been granted and the committee had been more urgent in their appeals a sufficient number of names at least might have been secured...
...heavy, stocky and muscular, but somewhat stiff and awkward in their movements. The first eight are now rowing in the following order: Bow, Smith; 2, Lincoln; 3, Foote; 4 Delafield; 5, Ayer; 6, Borland (capt.); 7, Barnes; stroke. Harris. Stroke has an easy, regular motion, but might get a longer reach with advantage. Seven's time is rather poor and he is apt to swing back rather too far. Four and five bend their arms too soon and shoot their hands up instead of straight out, as they ought. Three is very apt to get out of time...
...superiority of Princeton in throwing. During the first inning the ball was at the Yale end of the ground more than two-thirds of the time, and finally, just before time was called, the first goal was scored for Princeton.

...going to do?" Mr. Goodwin asked whether it was Harvard's ultimatum. Col. Bancroft said that it was. Said Mr. Goodwin, "Then I suppose there will be no race." To this Col.

Mr. Goodwin remarked, "I can't help that," and gave it to be understood that his crew would stay in training longer for some other purpose. Col. Bancroft then left the Columbia quarters, saying, "I am very sorry that we could not row. I have nothing further to say; I have...
...having a start of 25 yards, and the one furthest from him having a start of 60 yards. There were 11 entries, and when the signal go was given Myers started like a deer, rapidly passing one runner after another. Had the race been a few yards longer he would undoubtedly have won, and as it was he came in second in 0:49 3-5. T. J. Murphy, who had a start of 30 yards, passing the line only three-fifths of a second ahead. A 660 yards' consolation race for beaten men was the last event...
