...Parrott, L. S., No. 6 of last year's crew, joined the crew on Wednesday, and will occupy his old place again. Cowles will probably go to 2 and Hobbs to 4. Vernon and Farrington seem at present to be the most conspicuous candidates for the vacant position of four. The average of the crew this year will undoubtedly be heavier than it was last year, since all of the seven old men are heavier than they were then...
...following account of the men who will probably obtain seats in the Yale boat. Thirteen men are now in training for the crew, including all but the of three men who rowed in last year's race. The three vacant slides are those of Scott, No. 7; parrott, No. 6 and peters, No. 5. It is improbable that any of these men will row. This leaves three places to be filled, though in all probability some of the old men will move farther down the boat, and the new men will have to occupy the seats vacated. There are several...
...crew who will represent Yale in the annual eight-oared race with Harvard this year will be composed in part of new men at the sweeps. Scott, who occupied 7 thwart in 1884 and was a very valuable man, has graduated and gone abroad, while Parrott, also a powerful oarsman, will hardly consent to again take a seat, and Peters' father is opposed to his again making one of the eight. Captain Flanders, however, is hopeful, and will immediately commence the work of preparation for the big college event on the water.-Clipper...
Yale has seven of her last year's crew back, if we include Mr. Parrott. He, however, has stated that he would not row this year; and those who are acquainted with his work in the past will say, that although he will be very much missed, yet he has earned by his faithful work the right of suiting his own convenience. The loss of Scott, '84, who rowed starboard stroke will also be deeply felt. He was generally admitted to be the handsomest oar in the boat, and then, too, his position is an unusually hard one to fill...
Appearances now indicate that the Yale university crew will be made up as follows : 1, Storrs, '85 ; 2, Scott, '84 ; 3, Cowles, '86 ; 4, Parrott, L. S. ; 5, Peters, '86 ; 6, Hyndman, '84 ; 7, Hobbs, '85 ; stroke, Flanders, '85. This, with the exception of Cowles, who is at home, temporarily, is the order in which they are now rowing. Of the above-named. Flanders, 162 lbs., Parrott, 176 lbs., Peters, 174 lbs., and Hyndman, 180 lbs., rowed last year, and Hobbs, 175 lbs., was substitute. Of the new men, Storrs is a prominent foot-ball rusher and a powerful anchor...
