There were also a number of temporary shifts in the bow fours of the Jayvee and third crews in an attempt to sift out the best men. In addition to the first and second crews, five oarsmen will go to Red Top later in June with the Freshman substitutes and will form a combination crew to race the Elis on the day preceding the regular regatta...

Alcock '29, the Eli squad presents an imposing array of talent; Kieselhorst and Engle in the runs, Connor and O'Gorman in the weight events, and Sturdy and Pond in the pole vault, are the outstanding luminaries of the team, and have an excellent chance of hanging up some dual records in their particular events...
