While Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Navy crews have all been working out regularly in open water during the past week, Harvard's oarsmen are still hard at work in the tank and on the machines with no immediate prospect of getting out on the Charles. The ice in the vicinity of Newton boathouse is still several inches thick, and it is a conservative estimate that the Crimson will not be on the river for another week...
...last year's Junior University oarsmen to break into the first string combination this spring is F. L. Barton '26, who has been placed at the number 7 seat. For two years Barton has rowed on the Second crew, but this is his first appearance in the University line-up.

In the necessary repair of the Cottage Farm Bridge, they saw the opportunity to remove a vexatious hindrance of which they were thoroughly cognizant.

But not since that year, for various reasons, have the oarsmen of Hamburg pulled against those of the U.S. Last week the Hamburg Rowing Club sent its compliments to five U.S. colleges, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania, and invited them to come to Hamburg for the annual regatta...
