The gist of this message was sounded more than a century ago and was followed by a victory as glorious and decisive as is recorded in the history of nations.

Coach Haines paid special attention to the work of the individual men, emphasizing the importance of a strong catch and a hard drive with the legs. University A, in its workout in the tank, rowed together very well for this time of the season, and J. M. Franklin '18 at 4 appears to fit well in his new position.
