...proposed race between the two championship class crews of Harvard and Yale was approved and will occur on the Charles River on May 17, the only expense to be incurred by the authorities being the railroad fares...
...dates of the boat-race and the baseball games have been disturbed by changes in the dates of Class Day and Commencement Day. In 1911, when Commencement was a week earlier at Yale than at Harvard, the Yale crew waited a week after everything at New Haven was over--a delay manifestly disadvantageous to Yale graduates, if not to the crew itself.
