Chauncey who will share the responsibilities of the Freshman Class with Hindmarsh next year was among the outstanding players on both the University football and baseball teams. As a football player he will long be remembered by Harvard men for his expert dropkicking and forward passing. He first came into the limelight in the fall of 1925 when he dropkicked Harvard to a surprise victory over Brown...
Although the Yale crew has displayed consistently better form and display-pressive times in their trials during the past week the Harvard stroke has steadily improved throughout the week's practice.

The stroke employed by Brown, while at a great disadvantage in the shorter races against Tech, Cornell and Pennsylvania earlier in the season, will unquestionably show...
...Yale stroke, set at a much higher beat, makes little use of the long lay-back favored by the Harvard oarsmen, with the result that the Blue tipped oars, while at a higher clip, do not pull the length of water handled by the Crimson sweeps...
