...expected that W. Pierce '08 will return and hold down right tackle. H. Inches '08, S. Hoar '09, and M. D. Robinson '09 are likely substitutes for this or left tackle. At present there is no prominent man for left tackle. S. D. Warren '08 and W. D. Philippbar '09, together with some of the extra guard material may prove good men. There will be a great number of good ends available next year. G. M. Orr '08, D. P. Starr '08, J. MacDonald '08 and V. P. Kennard '09 of last year's team will all be back...
...hardly make up for the loss of Kersburg. In the high jump the outlook is better. Somers, Roosevelt, and Harwood have all done 5 feet, 9 or 10 inches, and may improve. Stephenson is very consistent in the shot-put and can be reckoned upon to defeat any man of his weight who may oppose him. He will be seconded by C. C. Little...

The ice was later than usual in leaving the Charles, and even after it finally went, the late winter made rowing decidedly uncomfortable.

...University boat the biggest problem this year was the selection of a stroke. E. Farley '07 has at 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...
Behind Farley rows J. Richardson, Jr., '08, the most reliable man in the boat. He occupies a very important position and fills it well. He rowed number 5 on the 1908 Freshman crew and last year occupied the corresponding position in the University shell. After Severance, Faulkner, and several other men had been tried out for number 7 this year, Coach Wray decided to move Richardson down the boat. He has demonstrated his ability to pass the beat up the boat at a fast as well as at a slow stroke, and on account of his exceptional endurance...
