...notable feature of the Yale crew is their over-confidence, from "Bob" Cook down to the coxswain. They think there can be but one result to the race and that favorable to Yale.

...would not wish it to be inferred that there has been any great or settled change in the attitude of Harvard students towards visiting athletic teams. We are sure that there is today no university or college where visiting teams are treated with more gentlemanliness than at Harvard; to think otherwise would be to judge Harvard harshly without justice...
