Since the arrival of the squad at Ithaca on Thursday the University crew has been rowing twice a day, for the most part taking very light work. The crew has been together now for over three months, and although the weather conditions have been unusually poor this spring, the crew has developed into an exceptionally powerful and fast eight. Since the Columbia race on April 17, the order has been unchanged except for the absence of R. Cutler for one day and the temporary illness of Waid during the last few days. The men are much better together than they...
This year the Cornell crews have been very seriously handicapped by poor weather. Although they had their first work on the inlet on February 22, the crews were only able to get out about twice a week during the whole month of March. In the course of practice during this month Coach Courtney found that he did not have enough good men to make up two satisfactory university crews, and on March 15 he took Kelley and Weed out of the University boat and placed them in the junior university crew at No. 3 and stroke respectively. This junior crew...

Niles won the first and third sets without much effort, but in the second set Sweetser showed good form and the match was very close. The service of both players was very good, but Niles's play at the net was superior to Sweetser's and his overhead work surer. Sweetser's chief weakness lay in the fact that he neglected to go to the net when an opportunity was offered him, and that he often allowed Niles to get to the net when he might have kept him in the back of the court...
...yesterday's play Niles easily defeated Beard by all-round superior work. Beard was erratic and inclined to hit the ball too hard. The match between Sweetser and Cutting was very exciting and close, but in the fifth and deciding set Cutting tired and Sweetser was able to win easily, displaying his best form...
