...spring regatta which was held at Lake Saltonstall last Saturday was a very pleasant affair. The principal event of the afternoon was the race between the junior, sophomore and freshmen crews, which was won by '90. The juniors secured a slight lead at first, but in their first spurt their bow had the misfortune to break his oar, which practically threw '89 out of the race. The contest between '90 and '91 for first place was exceedingly close throughout, each being alternately ahead. Ninety-one came in only a second behind '90. The University crew also entered the race...

At the end of the mile '90 was two boat lengths ahead...

Davis set the pace at the beginning of the last lap, when all started to spurt. Bailey got a bad fall as he was turning the first corner. Davis and Brown had a lively dash on the back stretch, but Davis managed to come in ahead. Time 6m. 20 1-2s. Crosby, Moen and Bodley came to the scratch for the '91 100-yards dash...
...skin of his teeth, from being placed in the bowl. Meanwhile the fire-plug had been gained, and ominous thuds began to tell of the severe ordeal the bowl was undergoing. Incensed, however, at being abused in such a way the fire-plug suddenly began to splutter and spurt, and in less than a minute the crowd was squirted away. This saved the bowl's life. For now the Meds had come and were doing their best to take the bowl to Medical Hall. When the college men saw that the Meds were gaining steadily they combined their forces. With...
