Although the work of the crew was necessarily rather ragged on account of these changes, the new order should eventually prove very satisfactory and be a good solution of the problem caused by L. Withington's absence from rowing this fall. Bacon may find trouble at first on the starboard side of the boat, but he is naturally a very adaptable oarsman and should soon fit in, besides being heavy and strong enough for the position...
...Freshmen who can possibly do so should come out for the dormitory crews which begin work next Monday. This branch of fall, rowing affords every new man an excellent opportunity to obtain preliminary training which will prove valuable when class rowing commences. Upperclassmen who show that they are better than any of the present members of the University squad will be substituted for them...
...besides Hicks to remain are C. L. Lanigan '10, third-baseman, J. A. MacLaughlin '11, second-baseman, and R. H. Aronson '10, right-fielder. Of the substitutes, E. N. Davis '09, pitcher, and D. Crocker '10, second-baseman, will not be back. Several others will return, however, and should prove valuable men to fill in the positions left vacant by graduation. R. S.

Minot is sure to prove a valuable player in the backfield, whether he plays half or fullback. Last fall he was not in good academic standing, but played a strong defensive game on the second eleven, and his line-plunging was one of the features of the practice scrimmages.

Sprague, who played against Yale, and Frothingham and Winston of the 1912 team are the substitutes. The hardest task that confronts the coaches is the development of a quarterback...
...fail, would remove most of the difficulties, provided that degree were brought within the reach of the average man after four years' moderate work. Such an innovation would certainly tend to heighten the intellectual standard of the entire College. In addition, the honor degree would in all probability prove so much more valuable and asset as to induce the majority of those who are now graduated in three years to stay on; Senior year would no longer be more pleasure-seeking; and athletes would in a limited sense become scholars. On the other hand, there would remain for those...
