...ever held with Yale at which a decision had been given, thus clearly illustrating the superiority of Harvard's system of instruction in public speaking up to that time. Last year a combination of circumstances gave the debate to Yale. The defeat, while disappointing, could not be taken to show conclusively the relative strength of the two universities in debating: the true test comes tonight when Harvard, after a long succession of victories, has lost a debate and now makes the attempt to regain the position once held. The Harvard speakers, whether they win or lose, deserve the thanks...
...crew is now rowing in very good form, though they still show their old tendency to shorten the stroke. Kinnicutt at stroke, however, makes the rowing have considerably more length than did Adams. The '98 training table will probably start about the first of April, though the exact date has not been determined. Yesterday afternoon the crew met with a slight mishap, getting caught on the piles by the draw bridge and breaking a piece of 6's oar. The order of the eight has been as follows: Stroke, Kinnicutt; 7, Wadsworth; 6, Ames; 5, Fuller; 4, Marvin; 3, Barnes...

Although the greatest care was taken when this debate was being arranged to announce both at Harvard and Columbia that it was a strictly interclub affair, most of the New York and Boston papers have, as usual, spoken of its as "between Harvard and Columbia," aad a far too general impression has thus been established that it was an intercollegiate debate...
...Lehmann's arrival to stay with the crew until the end of the season, and the fact that the men now in the boat have already been together for over two months combine to make the rowing outlook more hopeful than it has been for several years. To show their appreciation of the hard, steady work which the eight has done thus far and for what Mr. Lehmann is doing to advance rowing in the University and to strengthen the sportsmanship which has always existed at Harvard, it is to be hoped that all will give the crew a strong...
