...Hamlin; stroke, Harris. The next crew to come to the line was the '85 crew, followed by '87 and '88. No sooner had the freshmen come to the line than it became apparent that they, too, were in trouble, for the coxswain was holding in his hand the rudder, which had torn free from its fastenings. Finding that another half-hour's delay would ensue if this damage were to be repaired, it was decided that the race should be rowed at once, and the freshman coxswain was accordingly provided with a paddle with which to steer his craft...
...Harvard compels us to doubt the truth of this statement. We are also puzzled as to the reasons the journal in question could have had for bringing forward such a charge. Surely we have been enabled in the past to present to Columbia an uninterrupted view of our rudder without any resort to "sneaking." Is there any reason to doubt that this will hold true of the future...
...sophomores now have but one course left them, that of paying for their brief view of Columbia's rudder at New London. The class should respond at once to the solicitations of the crew management, and relieve it from the pressure which has been brought to bear upon it. But the present freshman class should early see the necessity of a prompt support of its crew, and its manager should publish next fall at his earliest opportunity, a full report of the financial standing of the crew...

All accounts from Yale seem to indicate that the New Haven crew is an unusually good one and that it is making every possible endeavor not to be shown four miles of rudder this year. In three weeks our crew leaves for New London, so that many days are left for those who wish to see the crew row before its departure. It should be of interest to all to watch the progress the crew is making, now that a final disposition...
...quarter of a length ahead. Yale passed the ball mile in 3:04. In the third quarter Harvard made up all she had lost and began to lead Yale until at the end of the first mile there was a clear boat's length of water between Harvard's rudder and Yale's bow. The fact that Harvard never quickened her stroke from the point when Yale was a length ahead to the point when Yale was a length behind tells the whole story. There was no spurt; it was simply the long, powerful swing of Harvard's eight, vanquishing...
