...drawing for courses resulted in the Second Weld crew's getting the place next to the Beacon street wall, with the Second Newell, First Weld, and First Newell in the order named. This drawing is a fortunate one, since it places the corresponding crews of the two clubs on equal footings as regards tide and wind conditions. The officials for the race have not yet been chosen...
...themselves and their immediate families, but the privilege should extend no further. It is an abuse to treat their friends among graduates and undergraduates as a privileged class, yet their friends put very great pressure upon them for special seats. The whole spirit of good sport rests upon equal opportunities to all, both in playing the game and seeing it.

Davidson, fullback, has been obliged to stop playing, and Barnard, a new man, has taken his place. Barnard is not Davidson's equal in a rushing game, but in punting he is fully as strong and is clever in kicking goals from the field. Kennedy, left halfback, has recently shown great improvement in his work. He runs well with the ball, is strong on his feet, and is a sure tackler. Potter...
