...which effects all the bow oars. Yesterday the boat showed marked improvement in this respect. The change at seven has not, as might be expected, in the least upset the boat. Hartwell is accustomed to rowing behind Wolcott, and seven has all along been one of the weakest spots in the crew...
...Weld crew recently lost a strong man in Jackson at six, who was forced to stop on account of an injury. The weakest spot in the boat all along, however, has been seven. George has now been picked as the best man for the place and is doing well. Wolcott rows well at stroke, keeping an even beat and driving the men well behind...
Individually the most encouraging work of the trip was done by Kernan. His batting was excellent, in fact the best of the whole team, although hither-to he has been one of the weakest hitters on the squad.

Neither Stillman nor Clarkson were up to their usual standard either in the box or at bat, and their wildness and tendency to let down at times were very costly. Wendell did not come up to Frantz's standard at first base, although his hitting...
...Nicholas Rink, New York, by the score of 4 to 3, in an exciting, but poorly played game. Columbia was somewhat superior in team work and, except for the fact that Harvard was more brilliant individually, might very easily have reversed the score. Harvard made probably the weakest showing of the season, while Columbia developed unexpected strength and showed the results of very able coaching...
...high punt. Dale and Townsend, halfbacks, and Keller, fullback, are capable substitutes for the backfield positions. Howard, who was captain of the scrub last year, is playing quarterback. Although light, he is aggressive, heady and cool and has been very successful in receiving and running back punts. The weakest points in the line are the ends. There are ten candidates for these positions, but only one man, Gardiner, a member of last year's eleven, is a good end. Corley will probably play left end, although Metzgar and Nelson are promising candidates. Corley weigh 180 pounds and has played...
