...Freshman crew, but has not been in training this fall, was put in at bow yesterday, and DuBois was moved from bow to Glidden's place at 3. Although Morris is a very good oar, any change at so late a date tends to make the crew considerably slower. The race is sure to be well contested and is likely to be won or lost in the last quarter of a mile. The second crews are very evenly matched. The drawing for courses resulted in the Second Weld crew's getting the place next to the Beacon street wall, with...
...rowed a mile race from just below the Harvard Bridge to the Longwood Bridge, yesterday. The water was too rough to start from the lower end of the basin. The college crew got a good start, gradually drew ahead, and kept their lead for the end. They rowed a slower stroke than the 'Varsity and seemed to get a better nip and leg-shove, sending their boat along in excellent style. Towards the end the 'Varsity made a spurt, but were unable to gain and were beaten by about one length and a half...
...Morse '99, has the best record. In the 'Varsity games he won the 220 yds. hurdles from scratch in 25 3-5 seconds, only one fifth slower than the winning time at the intercollegiate meet last spring, and in the running high jump he cleared the bar at 5 ft. 11 1-4 in., on his first trial. D. Grant also has been making good records this fall. He won the mile run in the 'Varsity games in 4m. 30 4-5s., and was first in the two hare and hound runs in which he was a hound. Last...
...backs were even slower than usual in starting; they hit the line too high and with little impetus, while their formation of interference was as poor as that of several weeks ago. This was much in evidence, although in this instance it was not so much the fault of the backs as a failure on the part of the line men to block off, when Parker was forced to run 55 yards alone. He broke through the line clearly and eluded the full-back, but was caught and tackled beautifully by Gerrish Newell. Aside from this run and Dibblee...
...point of team play the latter was very much inferior. Harvard on the other hand gave a very presentable exhibition of interference for so early in the season. During the first half the team played a fast, snappy game, which abounded in sensational runs. The second half was slower owing in part to the retirement of several of the best men. Doucette injured his knee, Wheeler sustained a compound fracture of the nose, while Cochrance and Sullivan were both laid off with turned ankles. Their places were taken by Burden, Swain, Maguire and Cozzens. Burden did fairly well although...
