Harvard University eight.--Stroke, R. Cutler; 7, Waid; 6, Strong; 5, Bacon; 4, Withington; 3, Metcalf; 2, Newton, bow, Whitney; cox., King...
...prospects for a strong University crew next year are very bright, as the eight will lose only three men by graduation. J. E. Waid '10, E. C. Bacon '10, and R. Whitney '11, who is taking a three-year course, will leave College. McG. A. King '10, coxswain, will also graduate this spring. To fill the three places left vacant in the eight there are several promising men in the University fours, among whom the most prominent are R. F. Hooper '11 and G. H. Balch '12. The material coming from the Freshman eight is only fair, with the exception...
...Faulkner '09, and F. M. Blagden '09, coxswain. During most of the fall practice Cutler stroked the eight, although Newton, who stroked last year's Freshman eight, was tried out at times. The absence at 5 of Withington, who played football during the fall season, necessitated changing Bacon from 4 to 5.

When the spring training began, Newton was sent in to stroke, with Cutler at 6, but, as Newton got on probation, it was not thought advisable to develop...
...members of the University eight were taken downstream to the railroad bridge at New London in the "John Harvard" with the shell in tow. About six o'clock they started back over the four-mile course. Hooper rowed 5, having been put in for today's practice in Bacon's place. It is expected that Bacon will have quite recovered from his indisposition by tomorrow and will be able to take up his own place in the boat. Throughout the first half-mile the men rowed easily at 30 strokes to the minute. From that point the stroke was dropped...
...paddling down-stream to Cow Point, a mile below Red Top, in light stretches. Coach Wray followed in a single and paid special attention to the individual work of the men. It was expected that a time trial would be held in the afternoon, but this was abandoned because Bacon was slightly indisposed. Contrary to all expectations, a further change was made in the order of the University four. Coach Wray had said that the bow positions of the four were settled but Balch was shifted from bow to 3 and was replaced by Loring from the second four. Forster...
