Quarterback is, as last year, the position which is the most unsettled and the coaches must develop one from untried material. D. V. O'Flaherty '10 is a heavy and exceedingly fast man and seems to be developing rapidly. S. Galatti '10, substitute quarter last year, and R. B. Wigglesworth '12 are also doing fast work. The back-field is fairly well settled with H. C. Leslie '11 and H. F. Corbett '11, two of the halfbacks on last year's team, and W. M. Minot '11, who was ineligible last fall but played fullback on the second team throughout...
...University race was rowed upstream from the railroad bridge to the finish line opposite the Harvard quarters at Red Top, and was started promptly a few minutes after 6 o'clock.

The same problem, however, came up last year, and Coaches Haughton and Daly developed from green material a quarter whose work was of the best...

Ranney '12, winner of this event in the meet with the Yale freshmen, will be a valuable man for the quarter or half, and W. H. Fernald '12 may be expected to show strength in the latter event...
...whole distance. All the orders were regular. Although the wind still continued to blow hard and kick up rough water at the time for the evening row, the crews all had stiff work. The University eight in its new order paddled down-stream to about a quarter of a mile beyond the two-mile flag at the Navy Yard and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke. The water was so rough that the crew could not be given a good try out, but in view of the poor conditions the change seemed to work well and the boat...
