...practice yesterday afternoon no line-up was held, but the men were drilled by Coach Barnes in long passes, dribbling, and basket shooting. The work as a whole was good, but all the men are still uncertain in the one hand dribbling and in shooting. The line-up in tonight's game will be as follows: HARVARD. BROWN.

Hurley starts quickly, and runs swiftly; on the defense he is too light to be of maximum assistance...

...expressed preference of the competitors. In the single scull race E. E. Smith 1L., won a very close contest from M. King, Jr., '04, who finished about 8 feet behind him. Both, men rowed well, and, although Smith led for most of the course, the outcome was uncertain until the very last.
