...practiced racing starts. In the afternoon the University boat went over the four mile course upstream in 20 minutes and 45 seconds. The Freshman eight raced the University crew for the last two miles, and lost by three feet. It was a very close race and the Freshmen were somewhat retarded by eelgrass. The condition of the men on the University four-oar is excellent. In general, the work of the crews during the past week has shown enormous improvement. R. Fisher '98, S. S. Wolcott '03 and C. H. Schweppe '02 visited the quarters today...
...Columbia this afternoon at 4 o'clock on Soldiers Field. Last year no game was played with Columbia, but two years ago, in an interesting game, Harvard won by the score of 4 to 1. Judging from comparative scores today's game should be fairly close, with the chances somewhat in Harvard's favor...

Yale's victory was due to timely hitting and to a few brilliant plays, rather than to steady good playing. The consistently good work done by the Freshmen during the past week gives promise of a victory this afternoon, provided...
...slow in the field and on the bases. Thomas, at third base, is erratic in fielding and throwing. He is a poor hitter with a tendency to offer at bad balls, and is slow in running bases. At short stop Pritchett covers very little ground and is somewhat uncertain in throwing. Although he has a tendency to step away from the plate, he is a fair hitter, and is a good base runner. Stephenson, first baseman, is weak in fielding ground balls, but otherwise covers his position well. He bats in good form, although he has made few hits this...
