He stroked his 1907 Freshman class crew, rowed on the victorious four-oared crew in 1905, and stroked the University eight this year against Cornell. In this last race he rowed very well. He showed good generalship and pulled hard all the way. Furthermore, the men have become accustomed to his rhythm and can follow him with regularity. Nevertheless he is none too sure of himself, for he has shown a tendency to shorten his stroke at both ends as soon as he becomes fatigued. This forces...

Hall was in at quarterback with the substitutes. He formed strong interference for the man with the ball, but his generalship did not show much ability...
