...Bancroft had been rowing 7 regularly until yesterday and is still likely to make a place in the boat. DuBois was moved from bow to 7; and Marvin and Riggs have been tried at 2 and 3 respectively. The crew as a whole rows long and evenly with a smooth recover. Their greatest fault is a tendency to hang at the full reach. Mr. Mumford coaches every day rowing in the boat, occupying the coxswain's seat or using the launch...
...performance was smooth and showed careful rehearsing. Woodruff showed his versatility in three quite different parts and came up to the highest expectations that his previous performances had raised. The audience was appreciative and enthusiastic, especially at the interpretation of the realistic part of Jack Despard, "of the Thalia Company" in "A Bit of Instruction."

Blake at two is very smooth and long in his work. He has had considerable experience in rowing, rowed on the Sophomore crew last spring and on winning Weld crews for the past two years. Adams, the bow man, is strong and effective but a clumsy oar. The crew as a whole are in their work the longest...
