...pretend to discuss now the question of "diagonals" or mistakes in drawing the line. There is no shadow of doubt but that Yale crossed the line which determined the race first, and we congratulate her, not only on having the pluck and the muscle to win the best and most closely contested race in the annals of college boating, the Freshman race, and the single-scull race, but also the good fortune to win all three in the same week. It must have been a proud moment for Captain Cook, and deservedly so, when his crew rested on their oars...
