...lacrosse men very few out of the large number of desirable athletes chose to come out and practice. This was a great mistake. The simple principles of lacrosse do very much to perfect a player in the points requisite for foot-ball, while they give him a test of speed and endurance necessary for track athletics. One of the most brilliant and successful players of last year's Princeton team owes his preeminence in dodging to his lacrosse training. Princeton has already waked up to the necessity of spring training for her foot-ball men, and the papers are urging...
...will also be several races open to all amateurs which will bring in the best riders from the different amateur clubs in this vicinity and elsewhere. At present the single bicycle race at the inter-collegiate games in New York hardly affords sufficient opportunity for all college riders to test their strength.

It is hoped that this meeting may be the beginning...

While a smaller college may accidentally have four men who can outrow a Harvard four, owing to their superiority in natural strength, yet when the range is widened, and the test with eight men required, the smaller college could not muster an eight-oar capable of coping with a Harvard eight. Consequently, in consenting to row in fours we might give to our adversaries an undue advantage...
