...latter crew became somewhat "balled up" in front of the boathouse, but recovered and pressed closely after their rivals. The Crimson crew finished their second and winning heat a half length ahead, and then had wind enough left to indulge in an ear-splitting Indian yell called the "Crimson cheer." In the crew were Frye, '86, bow; Storrow, '87; Morrison, '87; Williams, '85, stroke; and Perkins, '87, coxswain. In the singles, Cabot, '86, rowing a long, sweeping stroke, won by about a length, in 1 min. 34 secs., with Harris, '86, second, and Brown, '86, third...

...generally before this time, in the shape of wild blasphemies around sundry games of marbles in a corner of the yard, but it is not until the spring fairly opens that he is here in force. Then he seems to come all at once with a whoop and a yell. Whence he comes, and whither he goes, no man can tell. Several ingenious theories have been propounded but none of them adequately answer the question.

...coat and started up the wharf. "My name is Hanlan-and I hope to see you all at Vallejo on Thursday. Good morning." And since then all you have to do to get fourteen stretchers fired at you, is to stick your head into the Pioneer club-house and yell, "Hard all!" [Aquatic...
