Against the Indians, Coach Haughton sends in a team which is the result of the last Tuesday's shift, a team which presents an old combination in the backfield, but which possesses a new field general and new line-men. Willcox does not possess Watson's experience, but he is a faster and more tricky runner with the ball. Today's game will shown whether or not he is the better man at directing the crimson attack. With Coolidge and Soucy at ends, that department of the line does not at this time seem to have been changed much...

Hunter was placed ahead of Reilly on the list and Rhett went into eighth place...
...Conn., June 9.--The University and Freshman crews continued their practice on the Thames today, no shift occurring in any of the three boats. The first and second University crews took a two mile paddle down the river and back this morning. This afternoon all three crews rowed down-stream over the three-mile straight stretch in a practice spin, but no time was given out. Coach Wray also took the men out for pair-oar work-outs, giving each one careful individual instruction...
