...will repeat their victory this year. Between the Juniors and Sophomores there is little to choose. Both have been doing some fast rowing lately, and either one may give the Seniors a surprise. The Sophomores have rather the more powerful men and with a head wind should do particularly well, while the Juniors hope for a fair wind. Each crew has plenty of supporters who have confidence in its ability. The Freshmen had been rowing in very poor form until within the last two weeks. Under Perkins's coaching they show remarkable improvement and promise to be above the average...
...HAVEN, May 1.- Yale won her first intercollegiate debate with Harvard tonight. The decision of the judges, made less than five minutes after the debate closed was announced as unanimous.

To sum it all up in a word, the way to be sure...
...preliminary practice, the 'Varsity and College nines played a six inning game which the 'Varsity won 9 to 5. Up to the last two innings, the game was very close, but in the fifth and sixth the 'Varsity developed a batting streak and won easily. The 'Varsity played fairly well, the batting being rather stronger than that of the College Nine. They, although weak at the bat, showed some improvement in team work and fielded well...
