...Individual calls had been sent out during the summer, with a result that a squad of 46 men was on hand, the largest number which has ever reported on the first day. The squad has steadily increased and now numbers, 80. The work for the first week was light, though the whole squad was daily given two sessions of practice. Great stress has been laid on those exercises which demand shiftiness and agility, such as dodging and crawling. The first scrimmage was held last Thursday, after a day or two of practice in breaking through for the line and signal...
...improvement it should have since the Columbia race, in spite of the fact that the men were even better together. This confidence either amounted to gross over-confidence or the men overrated their strength. The crew rowed poorly, losing its form in this race, and was consequently thoroughly though not overwhelmingly defeated. Sargent's work in this race was not satisfactory to Coach Wray.

A base on balls was given to Van Vleck, forcing Sweeney, and Badger's bunt brought in Mallory on a close decision with the third run of the inning. Fels flied out and Badger was thrown out at second on Murphy's grounder to Magner. In the fifth, after two men had struck out, Sweeney secured a base on balls and after stealing second scored...
