...Princeton. Coach Logg* of Princeton has shuffled the varsity boat this spring, wags have said, "like a man who is trying to cheat himself at solitaire." But last Saturday he made no shifts; it was Coach Stevens of Harvard who had to rearrange his boat when Barton, No. 3, sprained three vertebrae in his neck in a boathouse accident. Harvard men were not so ready to bet on their crew after that, and indeed their caution seemed justified.

About half way through the race with their prow just keeping abreast of the University boat's stern, they started to forge ahead.

The Freshmen have shown remarkable power this spring, however and the University rowers are not looking forward to an easy...
