Following a brief preliminary talk in which plans for the autumn were presented in some detail, Coach Muller sent his two crews out for a short spin and followed the shells down-stream in the coaching launch. Nothing of a strenuous nature was attempted, the main emphasis being placed on balance and getting the men accustomed to the new combination. The seating was as follows...
...work was fairly strenuous, beginning at six in the morning but as most of the instruction was given in the field there was little monotony. At seven every morning there was a test covering the previous day's work and text assignments for the day were given out.

Dr. Howe, however, intends to carry on further expertments with the Freshman coxswains, and C. S. Heard, who held the tiller against Tech, will probably give up his seat for a few days to W. J.
