...slashing game flanking Captain Callahan, and when Rutan gets over injuries, there seems no reason why last year's tackles, McGray and Bigler, will be as sorely missed as was expected. Al in all, Coach Roper seems to have done mighty well with his late start: and when the rough edges of the Roper forward-pass attack are polished off, it is hard to see just where Princeton is going to be weaker than last year, Lourie is filling in more than acceptably at quarterback; German and Gilroy, last year's Freshman flashes, are living up to their reputations...

The men were in excellent, condition, and rowed smoothly in spite of the wind and rough water which they encountered down stream. Their stroke is long in the water, characterized by a reach far to the front and a steady pull-through which drives the shell through the water at an even speed...
