Captain Denegre, of the Yale crew was also against the shortening of the race. He made the following statement: "In regard to the four-mile race I am in favor of it because I consider it a better test of skill in rowing and coaching, and as a better test of endurance and general ship.

Before long it may be expected that the Chinese government will officially sanction and confirm the degree given by this Schools, and by some others...
Most of the practice during the fall will be spent in developing accurate stick-work and in mastering the fundamental principles of the game.

Freshmen especially will gain from the joint practice with the University squad...
