...began light practice yesterday in order that the pitchers might get their arms in condition as soon as possible. Only four members of last year's nine will go in training, Captain Quinby and Trudeau of the infield and Keator and Letton of the outfield. The management intend to follow out the policy of not employing a professional coach inaugurated last year, so Captain Quinby will be assisted in coaching only by former university players.

Thomson and Donald, who have of late been rowing at six and five respectively, were transferred from the first crew to the second. Much dependance was at first placed upon these two men. Thomson has been unable to follow the stroke of any one in front of him and Donald's stroke has proved to be woefully inadequate and weak in comparison with the size and length of his body. Donald's place was taken by Perkins and Thomson's by McDuffy. In the bow of the boat...
