...last been decided on as the best man available for the position. 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...

Levine and Flinn are powerful fullbacks, but the latter's defensive game is rather weak. Hutchinson and Jones both use good generalship and get the plays off fast. Jones is best on running back punts and in dodging through a broken field...
