...present the chief work of the coaches is to pick the two best men for the end positions. Of last year's ends, Kennard has become too heavy to fill that position again and Coach Cuts has been trying him at tackle. Macdonald is a little slow and does not put enough snap into his play. Lameness has handicaped him considerably. Bird, Forster, M. C. Perice, and Houston, the new men out for end, are all about on a par, and the coaches are playing these men alternately in order, to give them all a good test. Browne is another...
...practice for the University crew during the past week was much the same each day, except for frequent changes in the make-ups of the different boats.

Coach Wray accompanied the boats, directing the men from his single shell...

The increasing tendency to complete the requirements for an A.B. degree in three years and the changes in the Scientific School account for much of the loss in the undergraduate departments.

The boat travelled better with the fast stroke than it did with the slow. Nevertheless, the work of the day as a whole was very encouraging. The crew has the possibility of becoming a very fast eight within the week that remains before the race...
