...opinion it is not necessary to pick a final crew in any class, University or 150, until three weeks before the race, and if necessary, I shall make changes up to the last minute," declared Coach E. J. Brown '14, before 151 candidates at a meeting of the upperclassmen, yesterday afternoon in the Smith Halls Common room. The meeting officially inaugurated fall rowing, and was Coach Brown's first appearance as Head Coach. Other speakers were Captain Geoffrey Platt '27, W. J.

My original thought was to pick an All-American team for 1926, and thus win the distinction of being the first, as well as of course the best, to perform that feat this year. But that is against CRIMSON policy, they tell me, and CRIMSON policy is a fearful and wonderful thing. They sometimes even...
...Tilden, of course-but then Tilden never takes doubles literally. He prefers to play with some youth who, overcome at the honor of being allied with the world's champion, will stand docilely in one corner of the court until called to do a little serving or to pick up some balls. Vincent Richards and Richard Norris Williams were playing together again; they seemed perhaps the best native team...
