...management of the freshman nine is doubtless eager to arrange as many games as possible with other clubs in order to have that practice which Harvard nines always need so much, and find it so difficult to get. We would suggest that a game be arranged with the Amherst freshman nine, if possible. This nine is to play the Yale freshmen on Saturday, and has already, we believe, played the Brown freshmen. A freshman nine from Amherst has not appeared at Harvard for several years, although several very strong teams have been put in the field by the Amherst freshmen...

...freshman crew, more than any other, shows the need of a regular coach. The crew is still rowing on stationary seats, and slowly learning how to pull the oar blades through the water. The crew can hardly be expected to take better than fourth place in the class races. There is, however, good material in the two eights for a crew, which ought to be in good shape by the time of the race with the Columbia freshman crew...
