When Yale started her season it was her firm intention to break the string of Harvard victories. There was but little material from last year's crew and at present Captain Frost is the only veteran in the boat. Coach Kennedy early set about looking for heavy, powerful men and first chose a crew averaging well over 170 pounds. On May 13 this crew was decisively beaten by Pennsylvania at Springfield. Several changes were made and the next Saturday the eight was again easily defeated by Cornell and Princeton. After this race Lowe was put in at stroke...

Since going to Red Top, however, tremendous improvement has been shown and there seems to be a good chance for victory against the powerful Yale freshmen...
