...backfield, whether he plays half or fullback. Last fall he was not in good academic standing, but played a strong defensive game on the second eleven, and his line-plunging was one of the features of the practice scrimmages. Corbett and Leslie will probably be the halfbacks. Both are fast, run well through a broken field, and are consistent ground gainers. Sprague, who played against Yale, and Frothingham and Winston of the 1912 team are the substitutes. The hardest task that confronts the coaches is the development of a quarterback, and throughout the spring they have been trying out available...
...some problem of finding a stroke, and the eight was apparently seated at the outset of the season in the exact order in which it would row Yale, almost four months from then. Up to the time of the Columbia race on April 17, the boat was moving very fast. The crew was remarkably well together for so early in the season, and Sargent still had his ability to row a high stroke and keep it for a long distance, or to raise or lower it at will without losing his rhythmic heat. His stroke was well proportioned and full...
...returning to his old seat at 6. The other places were filed from members of last year's freshman eights and university fours. Although there was much bad weather on the harbor at New Haven, the crew improved steadily and consistently, until it was as efficient as the average fast eight which Coach Kennedy regularly turns out. At New London the crew has rowed two fast time trials and continued to improve. The crew this year seems to be different from the Yale crews of other years. The men seem to row shorter, and the long, hard catch and finish...
...while Cutler was the stroke of last year's winning Harvard Freshman eight. Both are very smooth oars and row a long, well-proportioned stroke, but of the two Cutler is a great deal the heavier and more rugged. By the time of the race both crews should be fast and in the best of condition. A prediction of the result is very uncertain and the race alone can decide between the crews...
...University four has suffered from repeated changes of order, but in spite of this is a very fast crew. Although Sargent was removed from the University eight his efficiency as a stroke is by no means gone, and his work as stroke in the four is invaluable. Severance at 3, with two years' experience on the University eight, is the best man in the boat. His rowing is always of a high order and he steadies the whole crew. This year's Yale four does not seem to be up to the usual standard. The crew seems to row much...
