Four Freshman crews went out on the river yesterday afternoon for the first time this season. They rowed by fours and sixes in short stretches from the University boathouse as far as the Water-town bridge and back, coached by Wray. Three other crews rowed on the machines in the University boathouse as usual under the supervision of Coaches Vail and Stephenson. The men who went out on the water rowed well together and in very good form considering the time of year. Their recovery was generally weak and a tendency to keep their blades too long on the feather...
...crews rowed up stream as far as the Watertown bridge and returned in short stretches rowing by fours and eights, while Wray coached from a single scull. The work was not as satisfactory as yesterday. Both boats spaced well between strokes. The University crew rowed in much smoother form than the second and the men appeared to catch together better. The float at the University boathouse will probably be in position today and the crews will row on the river regularly unless it freezes over again. There will be no rowing tomorrow, but the crews will report as usual Friday...
...baskets from the floor. The game was very fast and cleanly played, the large number of fouls called being chiefly for minor offenses. The Harvard team, was in excellent condition and the men did some clever team work, besides keeping their opponents closely covered. Captain Griffiths was by far the most brilliant player of the game, using good judgment in passing, and completely baffling the Princeton players by his fast dribbling. He was also very accuracy in shooting fouls and on free tries added 10 points to Harvard's score. Brooks replaced him for the last five minutes...
Owing to lack of ice the development of the University team is not as far advanced as at this time last year. The forwards fail to show a knowledge of their positions after a shot for a goal, or when the puck is in the corners. Some improvement has been shown in carrying the puck down the ice, but the men are still slow in following back. As was decisively shown in the St. Paul's game the forwards are weak in passing and shooting, especially when near their opponent's goal, and to win this evening the team must...
...team work the men play well individually. Captain D. Newhall at cover point plays a very aggressive and effective game, often carrying the puck the length of the rink and scoring alone. He lifts well and uses his body to excellent advantage, but shows a tendency to play too far out from his position. Pell is slow in following back, but his shooting is fairly accurate. At left centre Townsend is inclined to play too much by himself, but he follows back better than any of the other forwards. The fastest skater on the team is Macleod who is also...
