...enclosure in the basement of the Gymnasium for the winter practice of the Nine is perfect in its appointments. It is separated from the bowling-alleys by a brick wall, raised about four feet from the surface, and a wire screen placed above the wall, which allows the light and air to pass through, but keeps out the ball from the alleys...
...secured, in large measure, our athletic successes. The upper classes cannot properly fill the vacant places on our teams; and even if they could, it would be better to secure men who can remain in training for four years, and give in future years that confidence to our Crew, Nine, and Eleven which only the presence of old athletes can impart. If '83 follows our advice about the election of class captains, and fit captains are backed by many hard trainers, the class will undoubtedly not only make a better record in her Freshman contests than...

At New London the former gave a pretty exhibition of their stroke, in a so-called race with Yale; at Providence the latter played and won one of the most creditable contests on record. The remarkable manner in which, by steadiness and pluck, Harvard won the last of the games for the championship, is too well known to need further comment; it is not to our past achievements, but to our future athletic interests that we direct our attention at the beginning of another...

That era in our boating annals which was marked by the class of Seventy-nine is ended. The man whose energy did much to bring the crimson three times to the front has severed his connection with the University. Our prospects are good while Captain Trimble remains in college; but probably it will be long before Harvard will again have three such crews in succession as those of the past three years. Harvard...
