Since this last overhauling, nothing more has happened in the way of shifting on the first crew. The crew has yet to show its true calibre, for imperfect shell equipment has been one of the main causes for the poor preliminary record of this year. A new and heavier Davy shell was brought into use about the first of June, and this should overcome any such handicap. The crew, as has been said, is a heavy one with the emphasis in development placed on staying power. The defeats by Pennsylvania and Cornell have not shaken the confidence of the coaches...
...Yale track team had an extraordinarily successful season this year, winning second place in the Intercollegiates in Cambridge, and beating both the University and Princeton in dual meets. At the beginning of the indoor season, the prospects were poor, as there were only seven "Y" men on the squad. But with the help of an efficient graduate advisory board, a new track cage was erected for the accommodation of the hurdlers, sprinters, and field event men. Mr. C. E.

...wind, and it is hoped that all men in the University who play these instruments will join the Orchestra next year. The organization has in the past supplied such instruments as the bassoon, oboe, tympani, and double-bass when they are needed, and although in many cases starting with poor material on these instruments for which good players are seldom found in college, it has developed it into good material in the course of the season...
