Only enough Freshmen reported for the autumn rowing squad yesterday afternoon to form two crews. This small number of men as compared with last year is due to the fact that many Freshmen are rowing on the various dormitory eights...
...tennis tournament in doubles yesterday afternoon, F. J. Sulloway 2L. and F. W. Cole 2L. won the University doubles championship by defeating N. W. Niles '09 and E. C. Cutler '09 6-2, 6-2, 7-5. Sulloway and Cole played a very steady game, but their victory was due in part to the fact that Niles' and Cutler's play was very erratic. Both teams played at the net whenever possible, but in the third set Niles and Cutler lobbed considerably. Niles served excellently, as he has all through the tournament.

Clark and Foreteller did the best work for Harvard. Several times Forckheimer broke through center and stopped end plays. Simons ran the team well, and Severance got off some good punts.

Starr's work at catching punts and kickoffs in the backfield showed great improvement, and he used remarkably good judgment in running the ball back. McFadon played a steady game at guard and made a good interference for the runner...
