HARVARD vs. BOSTON.YESTERDAY our Nine met the Bostons for the second time this season. The game was one of the closest and most exciting ever played in New England, and the Bostons were put in such a tight place that it took them eleven innings to pull out of it. The game was remarkable, not only for the number of innings required to decide it, but also for the inability of our opponents to hit Ernst's pitching. The Bostons made only three base hits, - the fewest they have earned in a full game since their organization...
Matthews is now rowing with W. F. Weld, '76, stroke, S. Perkins, L. S. S., E. T. Hastings, '76, T. W. Preston, '79, W. Sheafe, '79, J. Q. A. Brett, '77, bow. The crew work quite well together, they pull a fast stroke, and there is a general tendency in the boat to roll...
...Weld six will probably be composed of J. W. Wells, '79, stroke, F. A. Bates, '77, H. H. Brown, '76, W. A. Brownlow, '76, P. W. Page, '77, G. S. Raymer, '78, bow. They pull a slow stroke, but find some difficulty in keeping time with their bodies...
...expect of our crew this year something which was never demanded of a crew before. They have, in the first place, to row a four-mile race; this ended, six of them must change all their habits in the boat and pull the old three-mile race without a coxswain. If they had to do the first alone, it would be something beyond what was usual with our crews, but we are so situated this year that, having rowed a longer and harder race than any crew of past years, they will have to do the regular work of former...
...mode of racing is inconsistent with the rest of the idea. On the same ground that the race should not be a show, but an honorable struggle for victory, the interest, being undisturbed by "side-shows," should also be concentrated on the final result. And, too, the steady, straightaway pull of four miles is a race in which chance is far less likely to enter than in a race where a stake-boat must be turned. In such a race, although the separate stakes and the buoying remove the possibility of two crews fouling one another, the danger of fouling...
