Still, their stroke, Pierrepont is an excellent oar and their improvement may be more rapid than Harvard '97, whose crew today was rowing in very fair form.

It would be presumptuous to say that men of the past did not know the game, but the knowledge of each was distinct and came always from defeat. The present policy grasps the principles more broadly, and aims...
