...stroke whenever the lead was threatened, Annapolis maintained her advantage until close to the finish. At the mile post the University crew seemed to have recovered from the surprise of the start, and did its best work of the day, rowing easily and spacing well. At the last quarter mile mark the hard work and high stroke began to tell heavily on the Navy crew, and the lead gradually decreased. A short distance from the finish the University crew pulled up and swept by the mark with a lead of half a length...
...Harvard, and G. M. Butler '09 of Yale. F. S. Blanchard '10 and T. S. Blumer '10 appear to be Harvard's best second string men, while for Yale R. B. Burch '09, L. B. Stevens '08 and R. La Montagne S.'09, are all good sprinters. The quarter-mile run looks bright for Harvard with E. K. Merrihew '10, F. M. deSelding '10, and H. E. Keays '10. Yale has lost W. T. Coholan '07, who won the event last year...

Only a few of the best runners are expected to enter in that event in order that it may be run off in a single heat. There will be the usual list of 13 events...
...that "no tobacco shall be used on the premises." We have found one of the chief objections to the hall in this useless provision. The old maxim of "After breakfast walk a mile, after dinner rest a while," can scarcely be observed, when it is necessary to walk a quarter of a mile or more before enjoying a quiet after-dinner smoke. Members of the Yale Dining Association are allowed to smoke at will in the hall, in which the air, despite the fact, remains clear and fresh. Certainly it is not necessary for the attractiveness and prosperity...
