Because of the loss of Heimrath, who was seriously injured in a motor accident some time ago, and the absence of Ballard, due to sickness, Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, Director of Rowing, has been compelled to make several radical changes in the line-up of the Orange Varsity. At the present time, Clark, who was number 6 on the Freshman eight last year, is stroking the new port-rigged shell though Darnell and Thorne are strong possibilities for the same berth.

...Spaeth, who is a Professor of English and Director of Rowing at Princeton lists the present excessive cost of a Freshman football season, the subordination of studies to athletics, and the strictly limited number of men who participate, as disadvantages of the present system. He feels that while there would be a strong opposition from the undergraduates at first, once the system was installed it would successfully replace the present method of intercollegiate sports and prove highly beneficial to the students...
