Fish and MacKay, who are generally conceded to be two of the best linemen Harvard has had in several years, will be back in the tackle positions. Browne will again play left end and in case Crowley does not return to College, his place at right end will probably be filled by Houston or Harding. R. C. Brown '10 is another possible end. For guards there are Dunlap and West, who played against Yale, as well as McGuire and good Freshman material to draw from. Smith, who played at right halfback last year and Harding may both be developed into...
...substitutes. The hardest task that confronts the coaches is the development of a quarterback, and throughout the spring they have been trying out available material. The same problem, however, came up last year, and Coaches Haughton and Daly developed from green material a quarter whose work was of the best...
...University crew started work last fall with the best of prospects. Captain Richardson was the only man lost by graduation and the fall rowing started with seven men who rowed against Yale last year. R. W. Cutler '11 at 6 was the only new man in the boat. When the spring season started late in February after the resignation of Captain Severance on account of illness, there were still six veterans on the crew. L. Withington, Jr., '11 having taken Severance's place at 5, the crew remained in this order until the sudden change of a week ago. With...

By the time of the race both crews should be fast and in the best of condition. A prediction of the result is very uncertain and the race alone can decide between the crews...
...spite of this is a very fast crew. Although Sargent was removed from the University eight his efficiency as a stroke is by no means gone, and his work as stroke in the four is invaluable. Severance at 3, with two years' experience on the University eight, is the best man in the boat. His rowing is always of a high order and he steadies the whole crew. This year's Yale four does not seem to be up to the usual standard. The crew seems to row much shorter than last year's four and the men all tear...
