Yale boating men are exceedingly well pleased at the success of the stationary barge in a tank of water. They think that before long the other colleges will be compelled to use the same thing...
...have lost Baker, the winner of the 220 yards dash; and Bradley, Chamberlain, Smith and Wheeler, winners of second prizes. Two members of the last year's tug of war team are no longer in college, although the fact that their vacancies could be filled was proved by Harvard success in the Seventh Regiment games this winter. The only way the loss of the other prize winners can be made good is by as many men as possible turning out and working in the gymnasium. The team of last year worked steadily during the winter months, and as a result...

This year when we have little reason to expect anything better than second place, fate should, by the same perverseness, give us the coveted pennant. At any rate the college will have in either case the satisfaction of knowing that nothing will be left undone...
