...race, the latter getting a slight advantage at the start. Both men were rowing a very rapid stroke when, in less than a minute, Griswold caught a "crab" and shot into the water. He was helped out by some spectators in a boat near by, and his shell - the right wash-board of which was smashed - was towed ashore. Hall consented to start again, but as Griswold refused, Hall rowed over the course alone, and was awarded the prize...

A trace of respect for college rule and officers was still visible. The right arm was distorted, owing to the weight of a large stick the unfortunate Freshman had been in the habit of carrying. This, and an unusually large development of his guancia, or cheek, are all that remain to be mentioned...
