And to ensure plenty of competition for their large squads, Coaches Farrell and Connor have agreed to count the first five places in each event rating fifth places one point and fourth places, two, instead of scoring only the first three places as usual in intercollegiate meets...
...whatever the results, they will be far from a conclusive test of the efficiency of Coach Stevens and his assistants or of the results of the commendable cooperation among the oarsmen, Captain Henry, and the coaches.
