...captain, who rows number 7, will be lost by graduation. It is likely that one of the members of this year's crew will be changed to number 7. To fill the vacancy will be P. Withington '09 and R.M. Ellis '09, of the University four-oar, as well as R.W. Cutler '11, L. Withington, Jr., and other members of the 1911 Freshman crew. Several of the members of the upperclass crews will be available another year as material for the University squad...
...comparison of the Harvard and Yale crews, however, does not result in favor of Yale. Physically the Harvard crew appears to be superior, and in experience there is little advantage on either side. The stroke-oars in both crews have never rowed in a four-mile race. Griswold of Yale stroked the Yale winning four-oar last year, while Sargent, the Harvard stroke, rowed two on the Freshman crew. In form, however, Sargent is the superior man of the two. His stroke has a better proportion and the rhythm is decidedly more even. The stroke that Yale is roivipg this...
...Harvard four-oared University crew suffered a severe shock the other day, when a general shake-up occurred. The crew rowed in one order for the first week at New London, and with only ten rowing days left before the race a shift was made. As a result the Yale four-oar has considerable advantage. Also, the greater length of the Yale four-oar stroke gives the men an added point in their favor, for the length of a stroke in a four oar is of greater importance than in an eight...
...make-up of the University four-oar has not yet been definitely decided on, owing to Morgan's suspension and Cutler's removal to the eight. P. Withington '09 and R. Ellis '09 will probably row at 3 and bow respectively. F.A. Reece '09 and G.G. Bacon '08 are being tried at stroke, and S.A. Fahnestock '08, R.S. Lovering '08 and Bacon at 2. M.A. King '10 will coxswain the crew...
...eight paddled up-stream over the upper two miles of the course in very good time. They covered the distance in 10 minutes and 5 seconds, but were favored by both wind and tide. The boat went well and the men rowed together in clean form. The 1911 four-oar rowed a half-mile up-stream just before the Freshman eight in good time. This crew has developed the ability to travel well with a fast stroke, with but little washing out or splashing...
