...crew. It will be hard to fill Severance's place in the boat and it will be hard for the crew to change its captain, but if bad fortune had to come, we are glad that it came at this time. There are more than the usual number of good oarsmen in College now, and although difficult, it will not be impossible to find a suitable man for the vacant seat. As for the new captain, he may be sure that his election meets with universal approval...
...introduction of this form of contest should call forth a large number of candidates at the trials tonight.

Harvard's defeat is to be attributed to defective covering, poor passing and almost complete lack of team-play. Yale's team was not only faster, but the men covered better and co-operation was carried to perfection. Another factor in the scoring was the remarkable...
This state of affairs may leave the championship undecided this year, because it will be very hard to arrange another game between Harvard and Dartmouth in case today's game is not played and Harvard defeats Yale. Both teams are limited in the number of trips they can take, and both are laboring under financial disadvantages. We hope that the building of an indoor rink in Boston will prevent the recurrence of a like dilemma, or that the Athletic Association will see fit to provide some means by which the hockey team can be sure of good ice throughout...
