...have been paid. If the crew cannot feel certain of the support of every member of their own class, the college should make them feel that they are representing Harvard and that Harvard is back of them. A hearty send off from a good crowd this noon will certainly mean a great deal to the eleven men who are to represent us against the Yale and Columbia freshmen...
...relations with Pennsylvania, introduced by the arrangement of these baseball games and further strengthened by the new alliance in football will virtually increase by one the circle of greater university teams which up to this time has been limited to Harvard, Yale and Princeton. These new relations mean much more than the mere pleasure of another worthy rival.

...would be nonsense to give at this early date any estimate of what Harvard's chances will be. It is sufficient to say that the fact that some men go to training table earlier than usual shows that Mr. Lathrop and Captain Thompson mean to make every effort to win in both the Yale Games and the Intercollegiate Games at New York. The date of the Yale Games is May 13, that of the Yale "Mott Haven" Games...
