...boat there is a looseness in managing the arms, but the time is generally good, and the backs are kept straight and in good form. On the whole, the crew is progressing as well as could be expected, and if proper work is done, there will be no need of '86 taking the usual freshman position in the spring races...
...method of Harvard of all colleges there is the happy medium. Her attack is strong, and yet she does not permit the enemy to make his way to her goal unmolested. But she is in need of practice.

In the game with the New Yorkers, when the latter were tired from previous play, Harvard seemed to have slightly the advantage. But the question is very doubtful.

It is well known that, at present, many of the men who try for the crews are unable to take care of themselves in the water, and the liability to accidents is really much greater than is generally supposed. A man who tries to row in a shell when he cannot swim is running a very great risk. Every one recollects...
