...steady west wind has raised mild havoc with Coach Brown's plans so far. The races that were scheduled to take place on the Basin last Saturday and Tuesday had to be confined to brushes on the short straight stretches upstream. One feature of the early season work has been the appearance of a number of Sophomores as strong candidates. In addition to Brownell and Gray, L. W.

Starting out with a stroke of 41, a 32 stroke was quickly adopted and held until the three and three quarter mile mark. Then the stroke was raised to a 36 beat...
