If, as it has been suggested, we invite the Union Boat Club to race with us, as formerly, for the cup, we shall have to make a greater effort to turn out good crews, in order to retain possession of the cup. One other item that will add to the comfort of those who row is that a passage-way is to be cut from the club-house into the University house, and thus members coming in from rowing can easily...

There is a deep-seated feeling in the breasts of every one to see our crew row with...
...home," and, although improving, does not get his arms out straight at the beginning of the recover. He too has the fault of letting his body hurry forward. At the finish he sometimes lets go of the lever with his outside hand instead of letting the lever turn in that hand. Legate pulls hard, and, considering that he has had less experience in rowing than most of the other men, is doing very well...
