...over five months since the university crew went into strict training. The men have done hard, faithful work ever since, and have now increased it on account of the recent changes. Several eight-to-ten mile rows were taken in the last few days in order to get the crews well "shaken" together. It is hoped that the new stroke oarsman will find little difficulty in again acquiring the old Harvard stroke, after rowing a different one for two months. All accounts from Yale seem to indicate that the New Haven crew is an unusually good one and that...
After throwing upon the screen some beautiful interior views of the Ducal Palac, the lecturer went on to the description of the Grand Canal, lined with noble palaces on either side, which have now been desecrated by being converted into mere ware-houses. A few more views of a general nature closed the exhibition.

Rueter made an attempt to stop it, but Spencer, of Yale, got his nose in the way so that the ball went through the poles, and Spencer, although saving the day for Yale, had a violent nose-bleed. Harvard made several close shots for goal, and once or twice the Yale men shot dangerously near Harvard's goal; but drake was there and defended his post well, ably seconded by the defence men. Time was called...
