...coaches this fall made mistakes in judgment, but in my twenty years of observation of Harvard athletics I have never seen a coach who did not make mistakes. Even W. T. Reid, Jr., for whom most of us are shouting so hard just now (at any rate I am), did many things which caused severe criticism, but they were all forgotten when the team which he was coaching won from Yale, I suppose that playing Filley at end caused more talk than any other one thing this fall. It was attributed to favoritism. I know Filley...
...secure a sum sufficient to get M. Pianelli as coach. With professional coaching, the work of all the squads could continue through the year and every man would have a chance for the teams which fence outside the University. This plan will not be adopted until it is seen whether or not enough men will pay to secure the professional coach...
...Captain Filley. According to this arrangement, the trial-eights squad, selected last week from the crews which took part in the interclub races, will continue to row during the remainder of this fall as long as the river keeps open.

In the spring, two or possibly three crews will be formed from it. These crews will race about May 1, and from...
...Lake Whitney, over the usual five-sixths of a mile course. Eight crews took part: four freshman crews, two academic and two Sheffield, and two from each of the classes of 1906 and 1907.

The day was an ideal one, and, with the exception of a slight breeze blowing up the course, which made the time of the junior...
...plans may arise from the statement in Saturday's issue, a revised statement is now printed. It is intended that the University squad be picked not only from the results of the trial-eights race, but also from the results of the spring class races. Nevertheless, it will be seen, that the fall rowing, which is preparatory to the University trial-eights squad, will be of much greater importance than heretofore; and all men are urged to come out now, no matter what their previous experience has been...
