In addition three other "H" men Fuller, MacVicar, and Trumbull, were prevented from competing for places in the first boat again, either through difficulties with the Office or parental restrictions. In spite of these losses, however, three crews were called out for fall rowing. The season was short but successful, the main feature being a handicap race which was won by the first crew, while the third crew beat out the second for second place...
