...second base, Leonard who has been appointed temporary captain, is improving steadily, especially in batting. J. F.

In batting, all the men, through over-anxiety, exercise...
...development of the various crews has so far been unusually slow, although some improvement has been noticeable during the past two weeks. The Newell Seniors are now rowing well together and have developed a fairly long stroke. they are, however, still weak on the recover. The Weld Seniors have been doing rather poorly of late.
