...that of last week, and although some of the crews have dropped out and some are still in a very unsettled condition, there are at least six crews which are going very well. Claverly has been greatly strengthened by the addition of Thayer and Howe, and Randolph by the shift which put Hill in at 4, Peabody replacing Cammack at 2. These two crews together with Russell and Beck-Hampden are easily the best crews from the Weld boathouse, and all of them are up to the standard of dormitory crews of past years, while two of them, at least...
...ends showed up very well. The quick shift which was the mainstay of the Bates attack was a good test for them, and both regulars and substitutes were able to solve it. L. D. Smith, G. G. Browne and Houston were fast getting down the field under punts and their tackling was sure and hard. Fisher and McKay played well in the line, the latter helping the end at all times...

After two line plays, O'Flaherty tried a forward pass, but was tackled before he could get the ball away and fumbled, Keaney recovering the ball for Bates.

The Princeton order will be the same as against the University team. The second game of the series will be played at Princeton next Saturday...
This year the work of the University team has not been satisfactory as the schedule was too short for the proper development of team-play. Allen's illness has made it necessary to shift the line-up, yet the practice on Wednesday showed that the new combination is fairly strong. The chief trouble has been to find aggressive forwards who can shoot well; the defence has been quite good. The University team has won but a single game, the first game with Brown...
