Minot is sure to prove a valuable player in the 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...
...University crew started work last fall with the best of prospects. Captain Richardson was the only man lost by graduation and the fall rowing started with seven men who rowed against Yale last year. R. W. Cutler '11 at 6 was the only new man in the boat. When the spring season started late in February after the resignation of Captain Severance on account of illness, there were still six veterans on the crew. L. Withington, Jr., '11 having taken Severance's place at 5, the crew remained in this order until the sudden change of a week ago. With...
...improved materially and seemed to be emerging from its slump, but the work was still not what it should be. On Friday, June 18, the sudden, though not entirely unexpected, change came. Sargent, in the time trial on the day before, had been late in his stroke for the last mile and a half of the course, and seemed to have lost all the good points so characteristic of his work last year. He was removed from stroke and his place was taken by R. W. Cutler '11, who had been rowing 6 all the year, and P. Withington...
Yale started the season with poor prospects. Two members of last year's university eight, last year's substitutes, and the members of the freshman crew formed a nucleus for the 1909 crew. Until after the two-mile race with Pennsylvania, in which Yale was defeated, there was the problem of finding a stroke. Captain Howe was tried, but was found to be too heavy and slow for the position. After the race Wallis, who stroked Yale's winning university four last year, was put in at stroke, Howe returning to his old seat at 6. The other places were...
...comparison of the two crews Harvard is perhaps physically superior and has the advantage of greater experience. The stroke-oars in both crews have never rowed in a four-mile race. Wallis stroked the winning Yale university four last year, 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...
