...loss of such stars as Charles Darlington, No. 6, Kent Leavitt, No. 7, and Captain Robert Winthrop, stroke, has hurt considerably, but to replace them there are some outstanding men from last spring's undefeated first year crew, judged by experts to be the best freshman boat in the country. From this boat the men who should make the best bid for a seat in the first shell are C. McK. Norton, captain and stroke; Guy Murchie, No. 7, brother of Donald Murchie who rowed in Boat A in some of the two-mile races last year; James Lawrence...
...with competent coaching. In crew, the number for whom we have thus provided is considerable. Last fall thirty-two crews were on the river. This meant that at least 256 oarsmen were regularly coached. The number of coxswains are not included, since one coxswain served for more than one boat. To instruct these men there was a staff of eleven coaches; one head coach for the varsity, with general supervision of rowing as a whole; one coach for the class crews; another for 150 pound material; and a head coach with four assistants for the freshman squad.

It will probably be initiated by the University Crew this spring...
...workshop in the Weld Boathouse across the river. "I'm turning out three craft this year," he said. "Two new 'lights' took to the water this fall, and the Number 15 model will be ready in the spring. I usually only make two shells a year. A good boat will last about 16 years. Then sometimes we give them to Prep schools before they are that...
