Note and Comment.

"Year after year Harvard crews have been taught by words and by experience to believe that their regular stroke is a good one. In 1883 when Yale, pulling a very rapid stroke, was left twenty lengths or more behind, all critics joined in praising the Harvard method. Competent amateurs, it will now be observed, attribute the success of '87 on Friday to the mistake made by '85 in attempting to pull a stroke of forty-four to the minute during the first mile of the race. It is as true a saying as it is trite, that it is wise to let well enough alone."- Advertiser.
