...unable to row on account of a slight poisoning in the back of his hand. On Wednesday P. Withington went in at No. 5 and Hooper returned to No. 6 in the second crew. On Friday L. Withington was able to take his place again. During the week Coach Wray laid special stress on the recovery, and on Friday this seemed to be in great part attained. During the long row far down into the basin and back, the recovery was good, the boat seemed very light, and glided well between strokes. The second crew did not have much chance...
...beach near the Cottage Farm Bridge and finishing in the basin opposite the Union Boat Club, a distance of somewhat over two miles. The race will be for the purpose of trying out the men under the stress of hard rowing, and it will be carefully watched by Coach Wray from the launch. After the race the squad will be reduced to two eights and a four-oar, and the men dropped will join their class crews, although any man who shows great promise may be again taken on the University squad. A few changes may be made...
Today, beginning with lunch at 1 o'clock, the University crew training table will start at the Varsity Club. Only the members of the University eight, together with Coach Wray, will be taken on at first, but it is expected that a few more men with the managers will be added after the race at the end of this week. The men who will go to the training table today are: Bacon, E. Cutler, R. Cutler, Faulkner, Lunt, Sargent, Waid, and Withington...
During the early part of this week the launches, John Harvard and Veritas, were put into commission, thus enabling Coach Wray to get a better insight into the work of the men when rowing in long stretches. On Monday and Tuesday the work of the University crew was rather poor, but since Wednesday, there has been a decided brace, the men getting nearer the clean, hard catch, and long finish, which Coach Wray has emphasized so much. Sargent at stroke, is rapidly regaining his rhythm...
...Coach Wray has been re-engaged on a five years' contract to coach "whatever crew the captain of the University crew shall at any time designate,"--the condition of his original engagement. Though the saving clause is thus retained the real meaning is obvious: Coach Wray's regime has been a success and is to be prolonged. Members of the University who have watched his methods know that he has established a system and inspired a confidence beyond anything the old plan of graduate coaching with perennial changes and reiterated mistakes could hope for. We welcome his continuance...
