...much material as might be desired, but Vinton Chapin '23, a member of the team last year, is outstanding. W. L. Chapin '25 is showing up exceedingly well in long distance running and may be used in either the 1000-yard or mile events as well as the shorter runs. The two mile relay race, which will be one of the more important events in the later meets this winter, will probably be composed of Captain J. W. Burke '23, E. G. Lund '23, J. E. Merrill '24, and J. H. Sherburne...
...schedule for the Yale University and Freshman crews for the coming year comprising a shorter season than heretofore was announced tonight by the University Boat Club. May 5 is the date set for the opening race, a triangular regatta between Columbia, Pennsylvania and Yale. A second triangular regatta will take place at Ithaca on May 19, in which Cornell and Princeton will be the other participants...

Relay team practice will be particularly stressed during the coming season...
...talking of the American college boys and other civilians in the navy, I find myself indulging in what may seem extravagant praise. I have even been inclined to suggest that it would be well, in the training of naval officers in future, to combine a college education with a shorter intensive technical course at the Naval Academy. For these college men have what technical academies do not usually succeed in giving a general education and a general training, which develops the power of initiative, independent thought, an ability quickly to grasp intricate situations, and to master, in a short time...
