...back positions. The difficulty with this plan became evident in the Dartmouth game, when for the first time Yale lined up against a fast aggressive team. The backs were found to be too slow. From that time every effort has been devoted to making the team quicker. In the Indian game lighter backs were tried, and the good work of Fincke and Dupee made it a question whether light fast backs are not more effective than the heavy men used early in the season. This question is still undecided, but as Fincke and Chadwick were very successful in the Princeton...
...Newell club, the first and second graded crews were followed by the launch in a time-row over the regular course. The second crew was given a start of a length and a half, but the first made the course in quicker time, 9ms., 20s., the second finished in 9ms., 37s.

The order of the first crew is as follows: Stroke, Brownell; 7, Blake; 6, Bullard; 5, Henderson; 4, Perkins; 3, Swain; 2, Morris: bow, Goodell...

Dudley and Winsor alternated in pitching and the latter was very effective. Milne's catching was good and his throwing to bases accurate.

...second, Fincke is still out of the game, owing to sickness. George's fielding would make him a very strong candidate, were it not for his weak throwing. His batting is promising. Keene is quicker and is improving but lacks experience and batting ability. Putnam's work in the field is by far the best, but his batting is erratic and all his playing shows a want of steadiness...
