Yale will hold its annual fail regatta on the Housatonic river, November 17. Trial races will be held about the first of November and at that time all University, class and freshmen crews will compete for qualification in the regatta. Five crews, the three university and the two freshman will be chosen...
Hopes that the Yale and Columbia university eights might race again this fall, as was the case a year ago, were shattered when Coach Nickalls of the Blue Navy announced that there would be no special races outside of the usual fall regatta. Oarsmen are out at New Haven now and starting a season of hard work preparatory to developing a winning crew in 1917, which with the present indications of the first eight seems not improbable...
...Yale freshman crew this season has been very successful and is distinctly above the average. The boat this year has met the first eights of Princeton, Cornell, and Annapolis, and has defeated all of these crews with the exception of Cornell. In the spring regatta the freshmen also defeated the strong Springfield High School crew by eight lengths...
...great problem has presented itself to Coach Guy Nickalls this year, in that the increased weight of the oarsmen has made necessary the adoption of a lengthy stroke, whereas last year a sprinting stroke was used up until the final workout before the race at New London. The first regatta of this year was held with Pennsylvania, and in this Yale's inability to get going so as to finish up with sufficient speed was clearly shown.

In the triangular regatta Yale was completely outclassed by Cornell, who came back within a week after a defeat by Harvard to put it all over both the Yale and Princeton crews. After the loss of two races Coach Nickalls got very busy with the shifting and completely reorganized the first boat. After several days of waivering the following changes were made as permament: Whittlesey was brought...
