...Freshman crew left with the University eight and four oar yesterday afternoon for New London. The crew has been rowing in its present order for only two days, consequently the work is still rough and the time uncertain. A lack of power on the finish of the stroke makes the boat unsteady. Since the race with the Worcester High School the order has been changed constantly. The present make-up gives promise of good results if the improvement is steady...
...excellent story of the running down of an outlaw in the West, is told under the title of "A Lone Star Ranger," by W. Jones '00. The western tone of the article is enhanced by the rough colloquial style in which it is written. In "Charles Lamb as a Critic," W. Morrow '00, attempts to show Lamb's comparative powers of criticism in different works and subjects. "Before the Wind," a sketch by R. C. Bolling '00, is a vividly drawn picture of a storm...
...preliminary heats of the interscholastic boat races were rowed on the Charles Saturday afternoon. The course was a little less than a mile, starting just above Harvard Bridge and finishing at the Union Boat Club. Rough water and the hard rain made good rowing difficult. The first heat was won by Brookline High School with Waltham High second. Hopkinson won the second heat easily, after a very poor start, and Brown and Nichols finished second. In the third heat the water became smoother, and the race was a hard fight between Noble and Greenough's and Stone's, in which...
...University crew made two attempts last week to go over the four mile course, but on each occasion the rough water nearly swamped the boat after a mile and a half. The two crews have been given frequent races for short stretches and increased steadiness has resulted. Dr. Gallaudet has lately been devoting most of his attention to the college crew, in preparation for its race with Annapolis. Yale has eleven crews in training: Two university eights, five class boats (two from the freshman class), and four scrub crews...
...water for the first time yesterday. The four crews rowed for about a half an hour up and down in front of the boathouse, starting at first by fours and then rowing with the whole eight. Vail coached from a single. A high wind was blowing, making the water rough, so that the blade work was a trifle ragged, but on the whole the crews rowed fairly evenly considering that it was their first day on the water. Following is the order of the eights...
