...crew was good and the time fast, as there was no wind throughout the row except in one stretch opposite Cows Point, and the tide was not as strong as that which favored the Yale crew last night. Throughout the course the crew rowed well together, the boat spaced out well at 32 strokes to the minute, and continued to space a few feet even when the crew was rowing 40; the men finished strong and in good condition. Lunt's rowing at 2 was short however, and both Cutlers were often feathering too high. The crew has still...
...stroke has been maintained. The Freshman eight has improved steadily since its race with the Cornell freshmen. Coach Wray has been paying special attention to the recovery and has been trying to get the men to slow down their slides before the catch in order that the boat may space out well between strokes without checking.

...current number of the Advocate is made up of five timely and well-expressed editorials, three poems, one play, three stories, and an essay. The verse is of the average undergraduate standard. The play attempts too much in a short space to be effective. Of the stories, "The Man in Puce Waistcoat" relates a humorous incident, apparently in Eighteenth Century England, of how the choleric gentleman, in the costume described, lost five pounds by betting that another wayfarer at the inn could not cure the servant girl's earache. The pain, proved to be caused by an ant which...
