...tackle Donald has done as good work as his condition permits. He is heady, reliable, and a decidedly good tackle. Swain, though the lightest candidate, has shown good quality of work throughout the year. He is aggressive, tackles hard and accurately and runs fairly well with the ball. Wheeler is gaining all the time. He puts up a fierce game and would be invaluable but for his tendency to get offside. He also uses his arms too freely in blocking. Mills, who has the capacity of making one of the best football players in college, mars his brilliant work...
...Ninety-nine crew has not shown as much improvement lately as the other crews. The loss of Whitbeck at five necessitating two changes in the boat set the crew back considerably. The crew is the lightest of the four, but seven men have rowed in races before and six sat in last year's Freshmen boat. The men reach out well on the catch and have a strong body swing. Their leg work, however, is not good and they are heavy and slow at the beginning of the recover. The order of the crew in the boat, their ages, weights...
...last few days. Sheldon '98S. has recovered sufficiently from his illness to resume his work at the Field. His weight is greatly needed at guard and he will probably give Murray a hard fight for that position. Chamberlain is showing up well at centre, although he is the lightest man Yale has had for some time at that position. Hazen has been ill for the last few days and his place at end has been taken by Connor...
Five of these men, namely, Forbes, C. Brewer, Fairchild, Derby and Kales, rowed on last year's '96 crew. It will, however be remembered that these were the lightest men of last year's crew. It is hard to see how the places of Shepard, Lewis, A. Brewer, and T. G. Stevenson can be filled as they were last year unless the men now on the second 'varsity crew are permitted to row with their class crews, in which case Rice, Fox and Holmes would probably take seats in the '96 boat...
...cedar shell built by Davy is a greater prize than was at first expected. It weighs, full rigged, 224 pounds and is probably the lightest shell ever built. The shell built by Waters of Troy was also sent to New London this morning. The coaches' tug "John Harvard" was sent down Thursday...
