He is directing most of his attention to blade work and to a quick start on the recover. Pierrepont has not been stroking well of late, so Mr. Peet is trying Carter in that position, who is doing excellent work for his weight.

Even "Bob" Cook told me that the Columbia freshman crew is the "worst freshman crew" he ever saw.
