Freshman crew work started this fall with the interdormitory races. These proved successful in bringing out a great deal of material, and arousing interest. When the regular work began on February 16, 120 men reported, making a record in the history of the University. Hard work and keen competition have made this year's eight seemingly one of the best ever developed here. M. Wiggin, the regular stroke, has been elected captain, and he has behind him an exceptionally heavy and strong crew, and one which rows beautifully...
Gale's Ferry, Conn., June 23, 1915.--The Yale season this year began with the regulation fall practice for the two varsity boats, the men doing their work under the direction of the coaches. Last autumn was the time in which Yale raced their Princeton rivals. This year, however, the schedule was changed, the autumn work consisting merely of time trials and regular work. Two full crews reported daily, and the work lasted from September to November. The stress of the practice was put into rounding out two boats which should be well drilled in both unity and detail...
...spring practice began in February. Much of the rowing had to be done on the machines, as the water was not open until March.

These were accounted for in part by Lincoln's bad judgment in picking his lieutenant's McClellan and Hooker demonstrated their inadequacy to the people long before the President realized it. Finally, Hooker's resignation gave Mead a chance, and with the battle of Gettysburg the North began to cheer up again. Grant also rose to power and fame though ill thought of at first through lack of success and his victories at Vicksburg and Chattannooga added glory to the Administration. Throughout the war the situation of the leaders in the government depended greatly on the victories...
...major sports the University teams have made a clean sweep to date, baseball and crew still remaining undecided. The year began with the annual intercollegiate golf and tennis tournaments in September. In the former event, the University won individual honors and finished second to Princeton in the team matches. Tennis resulted in the doubles title coming here, Princeton defeating Harvard in the singles. In the first dual contest of the year with Yale, the cross-country team nosed out a victory, 27 to 28, and later took second place in the intercollegiate run, Yale finishing third. Football brought the first...
