...point made a spurt, and seemed to draw up rapidly on the seniors, but the latter had evidently been waiting for this, and now having reached the smooth water for which they had been steering, they quickened their stroke, and threw their whole weight on to their oars. The result was immediately apparent, for they seemed to glide away from their opponents at a rapid rate. The sophomores and freshmen were still struggling for last place, with the chances in favor of the latter. All the crews quickened their stroke at this point somewhat...

The nine carries with it to Providence our earnest wishes...
...hoped that a large number of men will be able to go to Providence tomorrow to support the nine in their game with Brown. Those who saw the second game with Brown last year are aware how greatly the result of the game was affected by the enthusiastic cheers of the two hundred Harvard men who were present. The game tomorrow will be one of special difficulty, and the support of the college is even more necessary than it was last year. The nine has had many reverses to contend against this year. Let us hope that the hard luck...
