...alterations being technical with little real effect. The most momentous change is the rule permitting the kicker to stand at any distance from the line of scrimmage when kicking, instead of at least five yards in the rear of the line. Under this regulation, it is expected that quick kicking from directly behind the forwards will be a feature of the coming season...
...crew has made the tremendous progress that is characteristic of Wray's crews on reaching the Thames. Before coming here the men had neither catch nor finish but now they have both.

The eights went up past the Yale quarters and on the return showed slightly better form, there being little check between the strokes. A short row in the afternoon completed the practice for the eights...
