...following faults: First they do not pull entirely together nor with the same strength; second, some dip their oars too deep, while others do not dip deep enough; third some pull too much, others not enough, throwing the boat over to one side or the other. Their time is poor and they neither catch nor finish together. Although the foregoing is possibly a little exagerated, still it is certain that the crew will need to make a great deal of improvement to equal that of last year. Yet a great deal can and probably will be done between...
...enthusiasm was plainly shown by the way in which the nine worked during the eighth inning. Harvard won the game more by a streak of good luck than anything else. The two errors made by Princeton in the seventh cost them the game. Harvard's batting was very poor. Only 3 for 4 does not appear well when placed beside 6 for 8. Dean and Henshaw deserve especial mention, and Willard's coaching was good. The out field had no errors. The game was well played by Princeton, who are able to bat, a thing which the Harvard team...
...country through which the road runs. Still another field which is awaiting skillfully directed labor, is found in the quarries, which have never been properly or economically worked in this country.

That branch of engineering known as railroad engineering is overcrowded at present and it is not advisable for anyone to enter it. There is a good chance for hydraulic engineers who understand the construction of irrigation works. The United States Survey...

Six good wickets fell for but one run, and had it not been for the plucky stand by Austrian and Lee, the total would have been insignificant.

Patterson's bowling record of five wickets for no runs in twelve balls, is worthy of notice as the best on record in a first class match...
...side went out with Cushing left on third. Seventh-Mumford was caught at second after reaching first base on balls, Corning and Cummings struck out. Yale made three more runs on a base on balls, McClintock's hit, McClung's second three base hit and Henshaw's poor throw to third. Three men were put out on second, two of them caught by Henshaw for Harvard. Downer struck out. Dean and Linn hit the ball but neither got to first. Howland's good throw to first caught Poole, and Stagg was caught by Downer's assist on first. Calhoun...
