...many men are now rowing for the same reason that the men who tried for the eleven last year played foot-ball; that is, for the sake of the credit of being on the team and of getting the uniforms. Such motives are perfectly contemptible, and the sooner eighty-nine realizes that their captain and the people who are coaching them know more about rowing than they do, the better it will be for their prospects of winning the June race...

At the close of the second half the score stood 12 to 9 against '89. Goodhue, of St. Marks, played almost the whole game for them, distinguishing himself by some phenomenal plays; but the whole Southboro eleven, though light, played with a great deal of snap and pluck.
