...Peabody replacing Cammack at 2. These two crews together with Russell and Beck-Hampden are easily the best crews from the Weld boathouse, and all of them are up to the standard of dormitory crews of past years, while two of them, at least, seem to be better...
...well individually but lacked team-work. Fumbling was fairly frequent, and the backs failed to follow their interference.

This plan is likely to be carried out next spring, as Cutler is slightly tall for the ideal stroke besides being needed at 6, where he is exceptionally good, and Newton ought not to have much...
