...exactly 17 minutes. During this stretch the shell did not seem well on her keel at the catch and the slide-work was unsteady. At times Withington at 4 and Hooper at 5 did not bury their blades deep enough into the water, and Waid at 7 was slow in dropping his oar in at the catch. At the three-mile point the stroke was raised to 36 and the crew began to work very hard for the next half-mile. Here the whole boat showed great improvement, the time for the half-mile stretch being 2 minutes...
...process of turning the waists land into fields salable for athletic purposes is very slow. In order to get grass to grow it has been found necessary to lay the subway dirt underneath the ground that is already there. This, however, has become so salty on account of the marsh that even after it is built up, it will have to lie fallow for a year or two to allow the salt to wash out. It will then be seeded and when the grass has taken firm root the field will be ready...
...Rogers, but Judson, batting for Carvahar, was passed, putting Thompson on second, and after Howard had flied out, Thompson scored from second by exceptionally fast running on Owen's infield hit to Lanigan, the throw from third to first and from first to the home plate being a bit slow. Judson reached third on this play but Matchneer sent a grounder to Marshall for a third...
...from now on the work will be very light. Last Monday the University eight rowed down into the Basin and back, Coach Wray paying special attention to the finish, which was poor, as the men cut short the swing and did not get their blades out clean, and were slow on the first part of the recovery. Yesterday the crew showed much improvement in this respect, but still the work was not consistent, especially in rough water. From now on racing starts will be tried daily, and the work throughout will be quickened up to a two-mile race pace...
...Harvard, Potter got a clean single at the opening of the second inning, but he was forced at second on Hicks's grounder and the hit went for nothing. The batters went out in order until the sixth inning. Then with one out Rogers beat a slow rolling hit to second base. After Lanigan had gone out on a fly to Warwick, McLaughlin hit a liner to centre field, which would in any case have been good for a single. Cunningham came in fast in an attempt to take the ball on the fly, but it bounded over his head...
