...gain of over 60 yards in some half dozen exchanges. The fast work of Pope, left guard on the second, in getting down the field under the punts was noticeable. There was much fumbling in the handling of kicks, which was probably largely due to the heavy wind. There were again numerous changes in the line-up of the first eleven: Meier was put in at left tackle in place of Brill, McFadon was moved over to right guard to replace White, and Wilder went in at left guard.

This morning the first and freshman eights rowed a number of short stretches, both crews doing excellent work. Late this evening the first crew rowed down to the Navy Yard at a 24 stroke, and back at a 26 and a 28 stroke...
