...have been two tens rowing on the weights all the fall, the substitute seats having been called into requisition, and for a large part of the time three were at work. It is early as yet to give any criticism on the individual rowing of the men, but a word might be said about the general style of the first ten.

Eighty-seven has done very well in foot-ball, better in fact than the two upper classes as regards the game with Yale, and we want her to do equally well in base-ball. Not only this, we want eighty-seven to better the record of eighty-six and to turn out a nine that...
