...relay teams will be chosen from the present short distance relay team. Teschner has been the leading-off man for the 390 distance so far this winter. He was slow in rounding into shape, but his ability in the race against Cornell and lately against the B. A. A. has shown that he is now at the top of his form. His racing experience and fast starting make him a valuable man for the important first position as he gets a lead over his opponent as a rule at the first corner, which he can maintain by his speed...
...relay will be picked from Bingham, Biddle, Minot, Coggeshall, and Donahue. Minot has been running well this winter and recently won the 300-yard race at Hartford, and performed exceptionally well in the race against Yale at the B.A.A. games. Biddle has displayed ability at the middle distance which makes him a dangerous opponent. Coggehell was captain of the Freshman team first year and although it is his first variety season he has already shown that he is a dependable half and one miler. He has a long easy stride, uses good judgment, and has a beautiful spurt...
...pity that the Harvard-B.A.A. relay race was a fiasco, due to Willcox's tumbles, as a fair estimate could be gained as to how fast the Harvard quartet is travelling at the present time. In its other races it has won handily, only being beaten by the speedy Pennsylvania team. The 2-lap and 3-lap relays should turn out to be the closest and most interesting races. At present the University and the Pennsylvania quartet are the favorites, but Cornell will put up stiff opposition. The 6-lap and medley relays should also be good races...
Little is known of the crew situation at Princeton. The University eight will row Princeton on Lake Carnegie for the first time since 1913 on April 20. The first and second crews will arrive four days before the races, which will be rowed on the first day of the Easter recess. In the last race between the two colleges, a triangular contest on the Charles, in which Pennsylvania, Princeton and Harvard took part, Princeton easily won, the University taking second place. The year before in a similar regatta, Cornell was victorious, and the University eight finished ten feet ahead...
...Minot '17 won the 300-yard race easily in 34 1-5 seconds. Coakley of Dartmouth was second and Davis of Yale third. In the 600, A. Biddle '16 and Scudder of Pennsylvania ran a dead heat in 1 minute 20 seconds. Biddle came up from behind in the last lap and, as the judges disagreed, they were forced to declare the race...
