...class of 1909 has contributed a great deal to the baseball team for the last four years as no less than nine men from the class have been on the team. Of these, six are playing at present, and their loss will necessitate a complete reorganization next year. The places to be filled will be catcher, first-base, short-stop, left-field, and centre-field. Another pitcher will also have to be developed to help out S. T. Hicks '10, who will be the mainstay in the box next year. The only members of this year's team besides Hicks...
Fish and MacKay, who are generally conceded to be two of the best linemen Harvard has had in several years, will be back in the tackle positions. Browne will again play left end and in case Crowley does not return to College, his place at right end will probably be filled by Houston or Harding. R. C. Brown '10 is another possible end. For guards there are Dunlap and West, who played against Yale, as well as McGuire and good Freshman material to draw from. Smith, who played at right halfback last year and Harding may both be developed into...
...year. R. W. Cutler '11 at 6 was the only new man in the boat. When the spring season started late in February after the resignation of Captain Severance on account of illness, there were still six veterans on the crew. L.

Sargent, in the time trial on the day before, had been late in his stroke for the last mile and a half of the course, and seemed to have lost all the good points so characteristic of his work last year. He was removed from stroke and his place was taken by R. W. Cutler '11, who had been rowing 6 all the year, and P. Withington '09, who had been at 2 in the four, took Cutler's place at 6. In a four-mile paddle over the course on time the next-day the new order worked...
...inclined to lose their rhythm at a high stroke. A further change was made necessary in the University four in the afternoon, as Hooper was sent back to Boston on account of symptoms of measles. H. Forster '11, who has been rowing bow in the second four, took his place, and in spite of the change, the boat went even better that it did in the morning. Before the University crew went out in the evening, Captains Cutler and Howe, together with F. V. Chappell, chairman of the regatta committee, decided to row the race over the course...
