...Mark's at Southboro last Saturday by the score of 5 to 3. The Freshmen lost the game in the first inning, when with men on bases Smith gave two bases on balls and hit a third man.

There seems to be no particular cause to which this poor showing on the part of the first crew can be attributed, but the crew has certainly taken a slump in the last few days. The rowing is logy and the boat seems dead...

He allowed only seven scattered hits and one base on balls, and showed steadiness and good control in critical times...

This poor showing on the part of the first is doubtlessly due to the frequent changes which have recently taken place in that boat. On Saturday Francis, who is now quite well again, was put at five in place of McGrew, who was moved to three. Bullard, who rowed at three on Friday and who has been rowing on the starboard side all this season, was changed over...
