...Harvard in '69, and have improved upon the example. Some remarks we have heard expressed looking to a race between the Columbia four and a four picked from the Harvard eight. It is noticeable that the suggestion has found favor mainly with those who are unfamiliar with Columbia's record at Springfield in '77, or those who did not witness the Harvard-Yale race at New London. Columbia has won from Englishmen on English waters the Visitors' Cup, and she has Harvard's hearty congratulation. If we wish to win an English cup, we must row with English, not American...
Fast Walking. - On September 14, at the sports of the Scottish-American Athletic Club, F. H. Armstrong in a 3-mile handicap, walking from scratch, covered the distance in 21 min. 17 sec., the fastest record in the world.

...confidence which the Crimson has always expressed for the Nine, even after the unlucky Cambridge game, has proved itself not misplaced. Three games won from Yale in one week is a record the Nine and the College can well be proud of, especially since the scores were so largely in our favor. Knowing that Harvard had the better nine, and feeling confident of victory even after two defeats, we are not inclined, after the manner of the Yale News, "to allow our brains to be turned wild or to be driven crazy with rapture"; victory has perched herself too frequently...
