Some minor changes have occurred in the orders of the second and third crews during the past three days. Both crews have shown consistent improvement and attained a more even keel with each day's rowing. In the next few weeks these eights should develop so as to be able to give the University crew a good try-out in the three and one-half mile handicap race which will end the season...

When the spring training began, Newton was sent in to stroke, with Cutler at 6, but, as Newton got on probation, it was not thought advisable to develop the eight with him at stroke and the two men were again interchanged.
