...stroke seat for his third year is Gerry Cassedy who, contrary to belief, had stroked a losing crew before in his life prior to this year,--in fact three seats behind him, at number 5 is the very man, Mac Bancroft, who rowed in a Browne and Nichols crew which defeated the Cassedy-stroked Nobles eight in 1929. . .Bob Saltonstall and Ben Bacon, the two other members of the veteran stern four have proved themselves for three years able to take some of the weight off Cassedy's shoulders when the stroke is raised, which is the most important duty...
With the bulk of the work now behind them, Coach Whiteside will undoubtedly devote the three remaining days to perfecting the raising and lowering of the stroke on which so much of the smoothness, feel, and spirit of a crew depend. An eight may row faultlessly at an even stroke, yet if it cannot raise and lower the beat at the cox's command without losing the proportion and rythm, it will not be able to meet the sprints of its opponents. From now on it will be the minor details which the coaches will watch out for, and especially...
Merrily We Go to Hell (Paramount). This is about a colyumist (Fredric March) who differs from the other two because he has a home and is not much concerned with murdered racketeers.

McGraw's teams in other years had won ten pennants, finished second eleven times, third four times, fourth twice, fifth once. They won three World Series, four pennants in a row from 1921 to 1924. Famed as a strategist, Manager McGraw assumed responsibility for every play. Once he fined a batter, ordered to bunt, for hitting a home run. He took pride in developing players. Christy Mathewson, reputed the best pitcher in history, was a first baseman on the Giants when...
...maintenance of the long training period at New London is expensive. Some men of varsity calibre have been unable to row their full number of years because they could not spare the time from their work. Those who do go down are prevented from really studying during the examination period. Unquestionably the time spent at Red Top is as enjoyable as any in the college career, but this does not alter the fact that the Red Top training exaggerates the importance of crew as a sport and is out of place in a college. The force of tradition will make...
