Fall work for the Newell Freshmen began yesterday. Four eights were formed but only three went on the water owing to some difficulty in the launching of one of the boats. As Vail had not returned, the coaching was done by R. H. Howe '01 and H. Bullard '02 from the coxswain's seat. After the practice on the river a few of the men were given further instruction on the machines...
...Newell Club there were so many men wishing to row in singles that the equipment of the house was hardly sufficient. There were also four-oars and pairs out and four eights, which were more or less graded. It is expected that Coach Vail will arrive in Cambridge at the end of the week, and that the equipment can be moved up to the new boat house by some time next week...

Tilton '00, who will act as assistant coach throughout the season. Vail now works only with the Newell graded crews. Several changes have been made in the Freshman first and second eights and it is unlikely that a definite order in the first crew for the Worcester race will be made for a few days to come. Derby, who rowed on the first Weld but was laid off, will possibly be tried...
