Behind Farley rows J. Richardson, Jr., '08, the most reliable man in the boat. He occupies a very important position and fills it well. He rowed number 5 on the 1908 Freshman crew and last year occupied the corresponding position in the University shell. After Severance, Faulkner, and several other men had been tried out for number 7 this year, Coach Wray decided to move Richardson down the boat. He has demonstrated his ability to pass the beat up the boat at a fast as well as at a slow stroke, and on account of his exceptional endurance...
...Glass '08, who was moved from number 4 to 6, is the heaviest and tallest man in the boat. He was a candidate for the 1908 Freshman crew, but was taken sick and unable to row in the spring of 1905. Last year he rowed 4 in the Cornell and Yale races; but he contracted water on the knee in England last summer and was unable to take part in the race against Cambridge. He pulls a very powerful oar and has mastered the Wray stroke Glass is a very reliable man and is especially valuable on account...
Captain R. L. Bacon '07 this year was moved from 6 in the boat, where he rowed last year and the year before, to number 4. He exchanged seats with Glass when this change was made. His two years on the University crew and a season on the 1907 Freshman eight have developed Bacon into a fairly good oarsman. He pulls hard and as captain has the confidence of all the other men in the boat. At times, however, his form becomes ragged...
...season on account of his strength. He is not at all smooth in his form, getting his hands away from his body at the beginning of the recovery in different time from the rest of the crew. He is very powerful, however, and proves an effective man in the boat. He rowed 2 on the 1908 Freshman crew, and last year and this has rowed the same position in all the races of the University eight...
This year Yale has a very smooth working crew in practice, although not so smooth as the 1906 Yale crew. The men have been together somewhat longer than the Harvard eight as it is at present composed, and are considered a steady and reliable combination. Nevertheless, the Yale boat this year does not seem to have the power behind the oars that is in the Harvard boat. A close race on June 27 is looked for and unless the stroke goes wrong, the Harvard crew ought...
