...University crew the prospects for next year are very similar to the prospects for this year's combination. Three men will be lost out of the eight by graduation and one out of the four-oar. Farley's place at stroke will be the most difficult to fill satisfactorily. G. G. Bacon '08, the present stroke of the University four-oar, and his brother, E. C. Bacon '10, stroke and captain of the Freshman crew, will be the most likely candidates for the place. Number four will not be so difficult a place to fill, when R. L. Bacon...

...mile mark. The crews then turned around and started back with the Freshmen slightly in the lead. The crews remained in about the same relative position for some distance, when the Freshmen started to draw ahead and gained a quarter of a boat length. Farley then raised his stroke and the crews raced for a quarter of a mile. The University eight spaced well and finished a half a length in the lead. The University four-oar rowed over two miles of the course against the tide, this afternoon, in slow time, and the Freshman four-oar, coxswained by Assistant...
