...eight for two miles. The time made was 10 minutes, 6 seconds, but the wash was very heavy from the launches following, and with all conditions considered, the time was creditable. The members of the first Yale crew received rather luxurious treatment after their afternoon work-out, for a rub-down and a bath was presented them on "The While-away," after which ceremony the trusty "Elihu Yale" took them back to the quarters
...hurry the play. The thrust is diagonal rather than direct. Even on plays through the line the defence is thus enabled to avoid being smothered. The same general principle applies in attack. With a quick-starting backfield that is coming in standing up, it is not necessary to rub your opponent in the dirt. A quick thrust to throw him out of the play and leave the offensive forward free to go through to the secondary is the sound method...

But nobody pretends that the present situation in athletics is right, for the student body...
Cornell easily defeated Princeton and Yale over a two-mile course on Lake Cayuga Saturday afternoon in very choppy water. Princeton gave the winning eight a close rub for the first mile and for nearly a half-mile was in the lead while Yale trailed all the way, finishing five lengths behind Cornell and four behind Princeton. Cornell showed great endurance, finishing in good form in spite of using a powerful 38 stroke during the last half of the race, while Yale seemed more or less exhausted...
