...spite of the rain yesterday, three eights and a four-oared crew from the University squad were sent out on the river for a row up-stream above the Stillman Infirmary. The University eight rowed in the same order as Tuesday, with the exception of No. 2, which was filled by Coach Wray in the absence of Lunt. Coach Stephenson followed the other crews in a single, and as the river was calm, he was able to drill the men in blade work...
...crying needs of the University hockey team. The Dartmouth team has come to Cambridge to take part in one of the most important contests of the intercollegiate series, and may be forced to return to Hanover without playing because of the vagaries of this eccentric climate. For in spite of the growing importance of hockey, there is no way of ensuring good ice for the team.

The passing of the forwards is erratic, but the indoor practice for the last two days has greatly increased the accuracy of the shooting. This is the first time that Williams has been played in hockey, and a hard game is expected, with the chances favoring Harvard. Williams was defeated by Princeton by the score of 5 to 2 though the game was much closer than the result implies. The Williams forwards...
Columbia, although defeated by Princeton Wednesday by the score of 5 to 2, has a very efficient defense, but the offensive playing is erratic. The game promises to be close with the chances favoring the University team in spite of the fact that Columbia has been practicing regularly for nearly a month...
