In fact, the bulk of the day was given over to this essential and Coaches Walsh, Fesler and Lane worked all afternoon on the blocking problem. The motto this year is, "Nobody on the squad who can't block" and the players are certainly getting...
...race was to start out fast and stay in front to the finish, Cavalcade starts slowly, often finds himself well behind when he comes into the stretch.

Whiteside yesterday found the ice of the Charles River sufficiently melted to allow him to stage an outdoor practice, and nine crews were put through their initial outdoor workout. The opening practice on the Charles came extremely late this year, since last year the candidates were on the river by February 27.
