...Champ '19 would certainly give the impression of being an earnest worker for the Illustrated. As in the "Auto Show" number, he has contributed two articles--both unusually interesting and calling for no small degree of of research. In the first, "Harvard Racing Shells," he traces the development of the shell from 1846, when the first Harvard crew rowed in the clumsy lap-streak barge "Oneida," to the efficient shells of today--those which lower records, on the Thames at New London. In "From Watch Hill to R. O. T. C.," the part that the University has played in former...
...rowing a 28 stroke, but this was quickly dropped to 24. From the beginning the Juniors pulled into the lead, and at the quarter-mile mark were ahead by a fourth of a length. The 1918 crew were smoother, and, rowing a higher stroke, put more drive into the shell. At the half-mile they had increased their lead to three lengths, which they maintained to the finish. The Sophomores did not put their stroke up until the last four hundred yards, and then it was too late to cut down the open water between the boats. The time...
...action during the intense attack by the Germans, lasting over a month, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre and promoted to sous-lieutenant. In this capacity he served at Malzeville, Verdun and Port-a-Mousson, distinguishing himself at all times by his executive ability and coolness under shell-fire.

Potter '17 at bow in the same shell. Their places are being taken by N. Brazer '18 and N. Darling '17, respectively. C. Higginson '17 is being temporarily kept out of practice by the patrol squadron, and M. Taylor '17 has quit rowing for the remainder of the year to serve with the Aero Corps. On Saturday so many...
...University crews at Lynn yesterday, and the boats went through an uneventful five-mile row down the harbor and back at a steady, low stroke. The shifts which Coach Haines made in the seating on Tuesday made an apparent improvement in the work of the first shell. It is expected that R. T. Young '17, who has been out for the past week with an attack of measles, will be back in his place at number two in the second eight today, but M. H. Allen '17, rowing in the fourth shell, took his place on the sick list with...
