...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 of A. M. Goodale, at stroke, who is a very good man. Other men who have shown more than mediocre ability are P. H. Keays, G. F. Stratton, N. B. Lincoln, and G. von L. Meyer...
...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. Newton, Strong, Leslie, and Balch, from last year's Freshman crew, were the new men tried out in the boat. 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 the eight with him at stroke...
...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 at stroke and Sargent at 2 kept their positions. This order was tried out in the afternoon and worked better than any other that has been tried so far. It is the same...
...with the aid of a favoring tide. The boat went very well and the trial was, in the whole, a creditable performance. The Freshman four covered two miles in all. In the morning, the University four went out in the following order: stroke, Forster; 3, Hooper; 2, Sargent; bow, Balch; cox., Voorhees. The two fours rowed down-stream for a mile and a half. Coach Wray followed the work of all the crews in a single today for both the morning and afternoon work...
...London. The two crews rowed easily one mile down-stream and back. The University four went out with Waite at stroke in place of Forster, who stroked the second four. In one or two brushes, the second four was victorious. It seems likely that Hooper, Sargent, and Balch will be permanent now at 3, 2, and bow, respectively, in the University four, with the stroke position lying between Forster and Waite. By Monday one of these two will probably be selected as a final choice. E. C. Storrow '89, James Lawrence '00, and R. Herrick '90, were guests...
