...pretty exhibition of their stroke, in a so-called race with Yale; at Providence the latter played and won one of the most creditable contests on record. The remarkable manner in which, by steadiness and pluck, Harvard won the last of the games for the championship, is too well known to need further comment; it is not to our past achievements, but to our future athletic interests that we direct our attention at the beginning of another year. It will not be possible for us again to rely on the return of old players, at the last moment, for victory...
...testified that the moulding of raw material into an efficient crew is no easy task. Such a task is ours this year. Captain Trimble occupies a more difficult position than has been held by any captain of the Crew for several years; but he has already proved himself well fitted for the place.

The ground beyond the end of the sprinting course is a steep embankment, and Wilmer could not stop himself in time to avoid injury. This accident is much to be regretted, as Wilmer will of course be kept off the cinder-path for the rest of the season, and will not be able to compete against the English amateur sprinters who will soon visit...
