...good infield if McCall and Harding do not return. Briggs, Hall, and Hann, captain of this year's Freshman team, will be candidates for first base. J.C. Hamlen '09, R.W. Rowley '09, and R.S. Marshall '10, of this year's second team, and P.S. Twitchell '11 should develop into fast players and may secure positions in the infield. W.G. Carlisle, substitute catcher, will graduate, and his position will be filled by R.C. Brown '10, who was ineligible this year, and J. Sweetser '11. F.W. Kemble '08, substitute infielder on this year's team will graduate...
...were favored by both wind and tide. The boat went well and the men rowed together in clean form. The 1911 four-oar rowed a half-mile up-stream just before the Freshman eight in good time. This crew has developed the ability to travel well with a fast stroke, with but little washing out or splashing...

Leonard almost had the ball beaten at first and came home on the play. Holy Cross tied the score in the fourth when, with two out, Carney hit over Aronson's head for a home run. Aronson misjudged the ball, and instead of running back, came in and jumped for it, but missed it by three feet...
Another week of hard rowing remains and then only a few days rest before the race. From all appearances it will be a race of an extremely lively and fast Harvard crew against the best Yale crew of recent years, with very little claim of superiority for either boat until they have actually measured their speed over the course...
...time rows held last week, the time was fair, considering conditions, and from all accounts the crew could have rowed several seconds faster had there been occasion. Equally encouraging reports have been coming from the Yale quarters at Gales Ferry, and the Yale crew appears to be fully as fast as last year's eight with the added advantage of a little more weight. Like all of Kennedy's crews, their blade work is extremely smooth and clean and they seem to have good speed. Both eights are stroked by men who have never rowed in a University shell before...
