...races between the first and second University crews and the Freshman crew were held in the Basin during the recess, the University crew winning in each case. The first race was rowed in the upper Basin over the mile course between the Cottage Farm Bridge and Harvard Bridge on Friday afternoon. The river was very rough and all the shells shipped a considerable amount of water. The University crew drew steadily away from the others, finishing at Harvard Bridge two lengths ahead of the second crew, which in turn led the Freshman crew by about the same distance...
Blaikie (not William Blaikie) was the custodian of the old Harvard boat-house in 1871, and he said, in the presence of several college crews, that these seats could not prove to be of any use. In 1872, Trowbridge entered for the spring races in singles, and with him Bob Russell, the strongest oarsman of his day in college, and with a number of other men. The others failed to come to the scratch, so that the race became as it were a try-out between the new-fangled seats and the old. Trowbridge beat Russell up to the turning...
...indirectly, through the Intercollegiates, in track. The addition of Princeton last fall to the football, and now to the crew schedule means a more complete bond between two universities which should be on the closest possible terms. Although we do not look to see a Princeton game, meet, or race ever partake of the interest now attached to a Yale contest, we think that the best interests of intercollegiate sportsmanship are served when Harvard appears on the Princeton schedule. A dual meet in track alone remains to put the two universities on the same apparent relations as now exist between...
...University crew management has announced a triangular race with Cornell and Princeton, to be rowed over the mile and seven-eighths course in the Basin on May 23. This will be the first time that Harvard has met Princeton in rowing since the Intercollegiate Regatta at Saratoga in 1874. Last year Princeton finished second in a triangular race with Cornell and Yale, that being its first appearance in intercollegiate rowing since it met Yale in 1884. The University crew was defeated by Cornell on Lake Cayuga last spring...
