Despite a last-minute spurt of power and tightening up of form all around, the Harvard Varsity eight was unable to stave off a 2 3/4 length defeat at the hands of the Tiger, in its first intercollegiate contest of the season Saturday afternoon in the Basin. Princeton had gained a sizeable lead at the getaway, and held it easily almost until the end of the fast 1 3/4 mile course, finishing in 9 minutes, 18 seconds, as compared with the Crimson boat, which crossed the line in 9 minutes, 27 seconds. M.I.T. came in a poor third, about three...
After an initial spurt by Tech which gave them a temporary lead, the Tiger cubs were able to walk away with the Freshman event at a steady beat of 32 which kept widening the gap of open water behind them until they were victorious over Tech by four lengths, and over Harvard by five.

Last year he was hospitalized for three weeks after a cat got behind him. But most of the casualties in his cage are internecine, the lions ganging together to maul a lone tiger. Beatty has lost 16 tigers this way, one lion. Except during the filming of The Big Cage when Lloyd's covered both him and his animals, Beatty has never paid a cent for life insurance. With a whip, a kitchen chair...
...working out in the basin. Unless the technique of the Blue and Grey oarsmen shows a marked and immediate improvement, their chances for victory in the triangular contest will be negligible. The Princeton squad is still an unknown quantity in New England, but it is rumored that the Tiger is turning out a formidable four-mile crew, despite the fact that the longest water course at Princeton extends two miles...
