...idea has recently been suggested to me, which, if properly carried out, would seem to add a much needed stimulus to one side of the game of football. One of the greatest criticisms that is heard at the present time against the game is that it is too rough and of no use to us after we leave college.

Stoughton, Mount Auburn Street and Claverly continue to be the most promising crews under the supervision of Coach Brown Stoughton is probably the most powerful crew on the river, and averages between 160 and 165 pounds.

Neither launch was in commission and all the coaching was done by Mr. Wray from his single shell, despite the rough water. E. C. Bacon '10 and Sargent '10, both members of last year's Freshman eight, were at stroke and bow, respectively, for the first time in the University crew. Morgan rowed at 4, the position occupied by Captain Bacon last year, but with the above exceptions the eight rowed...
