Richard Stockton Emmet '19, of South Salem, N. Y., was yesterday elected captain of the University crew for this season. Emmet prepared at St. Paul's School, where he stroked his second club crew. In his first year at the University he was captain and stroke of his 1919 eight which defeated the Yale freshmen, setting up a record for the course. Last year Emmet stroked the second University boat and this year was advanced to that seat in the first shell. He succeeds F. Parkman '19, who was appointed acting captain in the fall...

The remaining oarsmen, though they did not participate in the fall training all held places on their school crews...
...sophomore candidates are handicapped by the fact that rowing was discontinued last spring, after the declaration of war. Roche, who has been elected to captain the eight, is the only man of much experience on the squad, and even he has never rowed in a varsity boat. He stroked his freshman crew and occupied a position in the second eight during the two subsequent seasons. Paxton, a member of the junior class, is the most likely candidate for the position of stroke-oar. He stroked his freshman crew and was in the second shell last season. Of the other...
