...June 1 the University will meet Yale in races for both first and second crews. At some time before that date the two highest University boats will race each other, and the winning crew will represent the University against a boat similarly chosen at Yale. These two crews will toss for the course, the choice being between the new Housatonic, near New Haven, and the Charles River course. If the first crews race on the Charles the second crews will race on the Housatonic, and vice versa...

He stroked his freshman crew and occupied a position in the second eight during the two subsequent seasons. Paxton, a member of the junior class, is the most likely candidate for the position of stroke-oar. He stroked his freshman crew and was in the second shell last season...
...Wheeler, in Macon, Ga.; but he will continue in an advisory capacity to the eight this spring. Fitzpatrick, his successor, is well qualified to coach the candidates in oarsmanship and to direct their training, but in matters of judgment, such as the final choice of men for the first boat, Dr. Spaeth will be consulted...
