...Coolidge, 158 lbs.; cox., S. P. Sanger. Average weight, 164 3/8 lbs. It will thus be seen that the crew is a heavy one, averaging three or four pounds heavier than last year. As they have but recently commenced to row as a crew, they have not yet become shaken together, so that there are several breaks in the time. They are at present doing the elementary work, rowing a few strokes by numbers, and then a few with stiff arms. They do not yet row the full stroke with the slide. The men seem to be well matched...
...equally dangerous when too sanguine. Yale men have just as much cause as we have to anticipate victory next Saturday, if we are to judge from their brilliant play with Columbia. The general tone of their editorials show that the characteristic Yale quality of confidence is not shaken to any great extent even after what they call Saturday's surprise. What we have said is only in the way of a warning, and cannot discourage a team which knows its own merits and faults better than the majority of its critics.

...freshman foot-ball eleven played the eleven of Phillips Andover Academy Saturday, and were defeated by a score of one goal to nothing. The supreme confidence of '86 in its eleven was slightly shaken; but in justice to the team, it may be said that the Andover campus is very unfortunately situated, and any eleven unacquainted with its peculiarities is at a great disadvantage.

...success from a total absence of competitors. If some of the heavy men would so far sacrifice themselves as to try a few feats daily, or to throw the hammer every afternoon, they would probably discover that this sport is not so difficult as it looks, and, having shaken that coat of "indifference," would raise the college records by livelier competition. Perhaps we may ascribe this neglect to the unavailable manner in which the shot and hammer are stored away. Let us suggest they be exposed to the public view. But this latter objection does not hold in regard...
