...only-draw-back to the Tiger prospects for another season of championship records, and it is a big draw-back, is the apparent lack of a capable successor to Leh. Morgan and Cresswell have not made a strong impression, and the position is now a toss-up between Pride, stroke of last year's Freshman, and Wright, stroke of the 1923 yearlings. These four men, together with Moser of the 1922 Freshman eight, are all being tried but the final decision is probably for some time...
Princeton, N. J., May 7.--A full quarter length in the lead, with every man in time, blade-work clean, and stroke hard and powerful, the Orange and Black oarsmen, stroked by Leh, crossed the finish line ahead of the Navy and challenged its right to the title of world's champion this afternoon. About three lengths in the rear came the Harvard oarsmen, fighting hard but unavailingly against two such crews as the Navy and Princeton. For the power and speed of the Princeton crew has been grossly underestimated and it was against the nominal world champions...
...Harvard fought it out for second place. But the spurt did not come and Annapolis' far-heralded eight hold close to the Crimson and the Orange and Black.

Eight powerful men, stroked by Leh, who was good enough to displace Captain Cresswell were rowing a shorter, laster, and less tiring strike than Annapolis and when the half-mile mark came the Orange and Black shell flashed across a few feet ahead of the Midshipmen. Perhaps one-fourth of a length behind were the Crimson...
...Navy's long awaited spurt and her supporters gave evidence of the fact that they had confidence in its outcome. Up, up went the stroke to 36, while the Navy oarsmen kept up their long stroke and almost touched the shell with their backs as tirey lengthened out. But Leh would not let the Annapolis men get ahead and for every foot they gained made them struggle at their highest stroke. At that, the Navy's gain was no enough to put her up to the Tigers until Leh made his one mistake of the day and caught a crab...
...classed in every point, while at the same time the Harvard fencers were in unusually good form. The University team was composed of H. St. Gaudens '03, H. J. Elam 2L., and A. K. Miller '06. The Technology team was G. Large, F. Large and H. M. Leh. Mr. Sewell Cabot of the B. A. A. acted as referee...
