...another trial today over the four-mile course. The conditions of wind and tide were favorable and the time made was much better than that of Saturday's trial. Bull at 2 has done satisfactory work since he was taken back into the boat, and, though further changes are still possible, he seems likely to be kept permanently...
...breaking of an oarlock on the Harvard 'Varsity shell during the practice yesterday, and the still-remembered fiasco at Henley two years ago, by which Cornell won a barren victory over Leander, suggest the possibility of similar mishaps during the race at Poughkeepsie. There would be neither glory nor satisfaction in a victory won under such conditions.

Yale took a big lead in the first inning, earning four runs off Wilson while there were still no men out. Jayne then replaced Wilson, and for the rest of the game Yale was held down to nine hits...

In view of this, is the whole University patiently to submit to the disgrace of Saturday night? To do nothing to discover the offenders? To invite by mere formal protest in its publications a renewal of such actions in the near future? Is there no way by which the celebration...
