Although the Yale freshman eight has nothing like the clean form of the Harvard 1911 crew, the men have developed considerable speed. The Harvard Freshmen are fortunate in having a very good man at stroke and ought to win their race without much difficulty...
...crew was chosen much earlier than before and more attention was paid to the training for the short preliminary races than has been the custom previously. This change of policy has worked well, and has seemed to benefit the crew rather than harm it. From last year's eight there were five veterans and the coxswain to start with as a nucleus. The problem at the beginning of the year was to fill the seats at stroke, six, and bow left vacant by the graduation of E. Farley '07, R.L. Bacon '07, and R.M. Tappan '07, respectively...
...University crew by a narrow margin ever a two-mile course, after a bad start. The fact that Harvard rowed a slower stroke than Annapolis throughout the race speaks for itself. In the Cornell race the Harvard crew out did itself in most inauspicious water. Thus when the eight went to the Thames this season, it was in a much more fully developed state than it had been for a number of years. Fish's suspension will handicap the crew enormously, but the new combination may develop good speed by Thursday...
...shift was made. As a result the Yale four-oar has considerable advantage. Also, the greater length of the Yale four-oar stroke gives the men an added point in their favor, for the length of a stroke in a four oar is of greater importance than in an eight...
...make-up of the University four-oar has not yet been definitely decided on, owing to Morgan's suspension and Cutler's removal to the eight. P. Withington '09 and R. Ellis '09 will probably row at 3 and bow respectively. F.A. Reece '09 and G.G. Bacon '08 are being tried at stroke, and S.A. Fahnestock '08, R.S. Lovering '08 and Bacon at 2. M.A. King '10 will coxswain the crew...
