Five years ago relations with Yale were resumed, and five match games have been played with them. The previous ten years had been disastrous to Harvard football. There were four consecutive defeats by Yale, four consecutive defeats by Princeton, three consecutive defeats by Pennsylvania. This did not seem a natural outcome of existing conditions as the situation seemed to present every element of success for Harvard--plenty of opportunity, plenty of coaches, plenty of candidates and plenty of enthusiasm, besides the favorable attitude of the University authorities...
...after dark, no playing on frozen ground, and care was taken to watch the individual players and not play them when they were becoming fatigued. In the first four years the result of this policy was only partially successful. The record shows that there was some improvement over the previous results, Harvard having broken even with Yale, each having won one game and two games tied; Pennsylvania was beaten three out of four times, having won the first year only...
...five years covered by the agreement with Yale mark what has probably been the most important period in Harvard's rowing history. Previous to 1897 a number of different methods and systems had been followed, and the result as everybody well knows, was far from satisfactory. At the beginning of the autumn of 1896 Mr. R. C. Lehmann was invited to come to America and supervise the coaching of Harvard rowing. This he kindly and generously consented to do. On his arrival he set to work to change the style, so that it should conform to what was generally considered...
...training of the University crew in '97 was an exception to that of previous years. The schedule consisted of about two months' work in pairs and eights in the autumn. After Christmas the candidates were called out and worked daily until the race; that is, such of them as were able to show their superiority. The class crews did much the same, excepting that they did nothing in the autumn, and after the class race in the spring they stopped. This was the first year that the Weld Boat Club really came into prominence. It profited immensely...
...regular Class crews rowed this year as formerly, and besides each club had its set of class crews. The various class races took place as in the previous years, and then each club formed first and second crews which raced two weeks later, and from these four crews the University squad was selected at the beginning of May. The race this year was a dual one as it used to be before the rupture with Yale, and resulted favorably for Harvard...
