...first time by Mr. Peabody, Mr. H. W. Keyes and Mr. R. C. Watson. The shell is a beauty, made so as to set low in the water and with two pairs of sliding seats so that stroke and bow may row either on the port or starboard side. The coxswain's seat is finely upholstered. The boat was made by the well-known Cambridge boat-builders, Swaddle and Co., and is a duplicate of the one in use at present by the Cambridge crew...
...energy-which the candidates for the crew are putting in their work shows what importance they attach to the old race at New Haven. The candidates have just gone to the training table. The men who are trying for places in the boat are Captain Stevenson, Carter, who was starboard last year; Woodruff, and Wilcox, the bow oar in last year's boat. These men will be in the coming crew. Hurd and Cross, the two substitutes in 1887, are also training for this year's crew and they stand very good chances of getting seats...
Caldwell, the famous stroke of the last two years, is now in the Theological School, and he has so far persisted in his determination not to row. Carter, the starboard stroke of last year, is the best now in training for the position, and there is a probability that he will stroke the boat, unless Cald well is finally prevailed upon to row. Carter, however, is wanted in his old position. There is little doubt that Wilcox will be the bow oar again this year. Capt. A. L. Cowles of the '86 crew, and Capt. John Rogers...
...specially trained against these defects. According to the new rules we will have two referees, one to watch the ball, and the other to watch the men. Of last year's players we will have Corbin, '89, center rush; Gill, '89; Carter, '88; S. S. S., who was starboard stroke on the 'Varsity crew; Wallace, '89; Morrison, '90; Bull, '88, and myself. I will play quarter back. This leaves three places to be filled...
...much amusement was afforded to the crowd of spectators by the evolutions in which some of the men indulged. When a coxswain cried out, "Let her run!" it seemed to act as a signal for renewed efforts in rowing. And the port side was sadly mixed up with the starboard, so that some little difficulty was experienced in getting the eights into line. These little mistakes, however, were very natural, and are usually much more frequent than they were yesterday...
