...writer calls attention to the great interest manifested there in the game, and laments that Harvard has not yet been able to take the lead. He is disappointed that the interest here is insufficient, and that our men show too little desire by hard training to ensure their success. He closes by expressing the hope that next year a marked improvement may be shown in this respect; and that, by beginning early and working hard, Harvard may justly claim the victory...
...last Advocate but one appeared a letter of mine signed "'83," in which I gave voice to a widespread dissatisfaction with the election of the captain of the Freshman crew. I am not a rowing man, but I wrote the letter because I was interested in the success of the crew, and was disgusted with the election.

SEVERAL hare-and-hound clubs have been lately organized, and have met with great success in their runs, so far. A run was held under the auspices of the Union Athletic Club, in Boston, last week, and was well attended. On November 13, a New Jersey club held their first meet of the season at Red Bank, N. J. We understand that a meeting will shortly be held at this University, to consider the advisability of forming a Harvard hare-and-hound club...
