Rabbi Zarchi Confronted Maria Ressa, Walked Off Stage Over Her Harvard Commencement Speech
JUDGING only from the reports that have come to us through the daily newspapers, one would think that the chances of Harvard winning the approaching race are not very good. We are happy, however, to be able to state that the facts in the case do not warrant such a conclusion. Yale, to be sure, has a much better crew in some respects than that of last year. The men are heavier, taller, and row in better form; but they are all new men except three, - a fact greatly in our favor, and one that superficial writers in making their estimate too often overlook. Harvard, on the other hand, has but one new man (that is a man who has never rowed in University boat), and the crew, with the exception of Captain Trimble and Mr. Pea-body, is the same as that of last year. Besides, ex-Captain Bancroft has been stroke for three years, and was never known to fail, while the Yale stroke, Mr. Fuller, never has rowed a race. Considering these facts, we do not see why Harvard men should not be hopeful.
Below are given names and weights of both crews:-
