What has happened at Harvard is that the large football surplus has in time, naturally enough, demoralized public sentiment on the question. The student body, as a whole, is much less ready to give money to support the teams than it was twenty, or even ten years ago, although the actual burden has grown steadily lighter.

The latter, with a much higher stroke, pulled away from the University crew, and crossed the three-mile mark ten seconds in the lead. Shortly after this the crews were forced to turn back, owing to the wash from the tugboats...
