He has a number of men most of whom have never before rowed in a shell, to whom he is expected to teach rowing, beginning with the very rudiments. After the freshman year the work of developing the crew is not so difficult. There are some men in the class who know how to row and the question is to develop good men for the positions, or perhaps to select the few who may be necessary to fill any vacant places from a small number of promising...
...they could do more in that one day than barely to get some system into their play. Harvard, on the other hand, has had the whole of this week to practise together.

...improvement in the offensive play can only be followed up by a corresponding improvement in the defense, especially by clean, hard tackling such as Hallowell's yesterday, our prospects for the Yale game will be indeed bright. And this defensive play the coachers may surely be relied upon to teach the team, for the same men turned out teams last year and the year before which excelled in that very point...
