...their stroke, but lack the hard biting catch so marked in the Yale crew; they do not catch hard enough or quick enough. The crew has also shown a tendency to slug and yank the oars through the water instead of sweeping them through with a long, steady pull. These faults, however, are fast becoming eradicated by coaching, and today the crew is rowing more smoothly and with more power. The crew is a strong, hard-working eight, well able to stand the strain of a four-mile race, and in the recent time rows has usually rowed the last...
...University lacrosse team defeated Pennsylvania Saturday in a well contested game by the score of 5 to 1. Pennsylvania started off with a rush which resulted in one goal in the first two minutes of play. Before the defense could pull itself together four more shots were thrown at the net, all of which, however, were stopped by Kendall who played a brilliant game throughout. Once getting the ball among the attack men, Harvard had little difficulty in scoring four goals in rapid succession. The work of Alvord and Goddard for Harvard was especially effective in approaching the opponents' goal...

...miles, he soon recovers, and is able to take part with effectiveness in two, and in some cases three, races in the same day, and to repeat the process the day following. I have yet to see or hear of the man who was able to pull two hard four mile races on the same, or even on consecutive days with justice to himself, and yet I doubt if he feels any worse immediately after the race than the man who has just finished a hard mile and a half. This, it seems to me, is ample proof that...
...dozen men. In fact, not many more than that number took the trouble to train for the team. Fortunately such a condition of affairs is entirely unknown today. It took only one or two defeats to prove the foolishness of depending upon a small number of particular stars to pull out a set of closely contested games, and the result today is that as early as January a squad of about 200 men begins serious and healthy training for the dual games which are held...
