...Word was received yesterday from Captain Patterson of the University of Pennsylvania cricket team that he would be unable to bring an eleven to Cambridge today to play the scheduled match with Harvard. The full reasons were not given, but will probably be explained within a few days. Both Harvard and Pennsylvania have been in some doubt for the last week as to the possibility of playing today, but provisions had been made for the game. It is probable that Harvard will not claim a forfeit, but will consent to play off in the autumn. As Pennsylvania has beaten Harvarford...
...over the two mile course used in the class races. The day was wet and cold and a stiff easterly breeze caused very bad water on the exposed stretches. At 4.40 p. m. the two crews succeeded in getting into satisfactory positions and Mr. Richards the referee gave the word to start. Both crews caught the water almost at the same moment, and Bowdoin started off with 40 strokes to the minute, Harvard rowing 36. The difference between the two styles of rowing was very marked from the start. The Bowdoin men made no attempt to keep their backs straight...

...want to say a word to remind the college of its good, old custom of cheering university athletic teams as they leave Cambridge. This morning the team which will represent us at the intercollegiate games tomorrow will start for New York. We can assure them that that they have the best wishes of the college. Such assurances, however, can best be supported by an enthusiastic demonstration by the college. We hope that every man will be on hand to give the team a hearty send-off. It is a tremendous encouragement to the men to have the college show...
While we are on the subject of support to athletic teams, it seems necessary to say another word to the freshman class. Ten men have signed the book to go to New Haven for the game tomorrow. It would be charitable to suppose that every freshman has an examination on Monday and therefore stays in Cambridge to study hard all Saturday. But the more common-sense view to which we are forced is that Ninety-four does not care whether her nine wins or not. It is easier to believe that such is the case when we recollect the support...
