...have weight with the faculty. They are working for our best interests, we may be sure, and they never refuse to listen to reason, provided it is in accordance with their ideas of what is best for the college. Whether the petition would be summarily refused, as our correspondent rather gloomily predicts, remains to be seen. We do not think the faculty would refuse such a petition without very strong reasons for doing so. But the petition should be started by the Base-Ball Association, and not by the CRIMSON, as the writer suggests. It is our business to advise...
...with work on the chest-weights, and an increased number of strokes on the rowing-weights. Of the forty men who started in, the sixteen who remain are in much improved condition, and as a crew have made a gain of from 3 to 4 pounds. The men are rather lighter than the average freshman candidates, but as weight is not the most important requisite, it does not necessarily effect their prospects either one way or the other. The coaching at present is being done by Storrow, the stroke of last year's University crew, and the men have shown...
...second crew has the same general faults as has the first, but they are rather more pronounced. There never was, however, a second crew yet but put men on the regular eight before the year was out.

While Mr. Lathrop is instructing one pair, the others practise what they have previously been told. The part of the hour thus spent in instruction is rather tame, but the last half is spent in regular bouts, and proves much more interesting to those looking on. Two men wrestle before Mr. Lathrop and the class until one or the other is fairly thrown, when another pair take their place. The class was quite large at first...
...comparison with the rest of the men, he showed no lack of form in the race and pulled a beautiful stroke. If he persists in his refusal to row, Cross, '88, will probably stroke the crew. Cross is a veteran oarsman and has a remarkably good style. Although rather light, he has good powers of endurance, as was shown in the late foot-ball contest between Yale and Harvard...
