...observation trains pulled into the New London station after the Yale-Harvard boat race a horde of small boys greeted them nourishing green journals. "Yale Wins" stared in six-inch headlines. Since the race had ended not five minutes before this publication seemed for the moment a journalistic miracle. Closer inspection revealed a badly written story of the vaguest and most general character. No mention of the lengths or time of victory was made.

I will be franker with you and say that I would not prophesy victory in regards to either team as I don't think they are capable. Was I the mgr. of either club I would put in a entirely new team either from the Niles high school or the Harrisburg yacht club and make a living monkey out of either...
