...afternoon after the four-oar practice, and rowed downstream in one stretch until opposite the two-mile mark by the Navy Yard. After a rest the shell was rowed back. The men seem gradually to be getting together better, but Faulkner was erratic in slide control, and Fish particularly slow in starting his hands away after the recovery...

The team is the champion of the Maine colleges, having defeated Bates and Colby three times, and the University of Maine twice. The University team defeated Maine some time ago in a slow game by the score of 3 to 1.

Wesleyan defeated Bowdoin during May by the score of 7 to 2, while Yale defeated Wesleyan early...

They moved fairly well together and appeared to put more spirit into their work than during the last few days. About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon coxswain Rlagden and Coach Wray went over...
